Welcome to the demo version of StormC 2.0
==========================================
Here it is: NEW version 2.0 of StormC - The programming system for the future of the AMIGA. There are a lot of enhancements and improvements.
Most of them were big wishes of our customers and users of the demo
version 1.0. For that reason we want to thank everyone who supported
the development of StormC.

I. Ratings of the Press
=======================
StormC 1.1 now got rating
"VERY GOOD"
in the biggest magazine, called AMIGA MAGAZIN (Publisher: Magna Media).
Some impressions of articles of the German press regarding the Preview
version 0.9: (I will try to translate it as close to the original as
possible)
Amiga Plus 1 / 96
New concepts of development and quality assurance...
The first remarkable feature is the project management...
Amiga magazine 1 / 96
The project management: At last there is a tool that does not feel
like a "ball and chain", but is really useful.
Amiga Special 2 / 96
A fast compiler, a powerful debugger and a comfortable
development system are an interesting mixture, if we talk about
professional software engineering..
With the enclosed demo you can convince yourself of these statements.
II. Features of StormC 2.0
==========================
StormC 2.0 [NEW]
The Advanced C/C++ Development System for the Future of the AMIGA !
StormC is an integrated development system which contains all
development tools imperative for efficient engineering: editor,
compiler, linker, debugger and RunShell with many outstanding
features.
The heart of StormC is its visual project manager which manages every
part of the project, e.g. sources, headers, libraries, documents,
binaries.
The very fast editor displays key-words colourfully to get a better
readability and a syntax check.
The StormC compiler handles ANSI C and C++ sources and generates
optimised code for the whole Motorola 68xxx family (including 68060
and 68881/882).
The RunShell is a powerful run-time system that monitors the running
application and prevents it from crashing the system. It also offers
resource tracking and it can start the source-level debugger
during (!) run-time of the program.
([NEW]Features marked by this are new in version 2.0.)

III. Restraints of the demo
===========================
The enclosed compiler will compile your large sources but he will however
write a maximum of 10 KB of object code. But you can get the assurance
that your large projects can be compiled too.
The linker can write programs with a maximum of 20 KB of
size.
All parts of StormC can NOT be started from CLI. They can be used only
with the integrated environment.
The Storm demo ends automaticaly after 10 minutes.
Important
=========
This demo is optimised for installation from CD-ROM. If you have copied
the files to your hard disk already you need not to do the installation.
You should then enter solely an assign to StormC into the "user-startup",
so the demo programs and the pre-sets of StormC can be used unchanged.
IV. Include Licences
====================
If you have got the demo from a mailbox or from the Aminet, only our
includes and libraries are included. For programming you will soon
need the complete system includes of Kickstart/Workbench 3.1.
How to get these includes?
--------------------------
1. We can send you a demo of StormC with all includes, but you have
to pay a charge of 20 $ (30 DM). You have to pay in advance.
2. You will find the complete includes and libraries on the CD 1/96
of the German "Amiga Magazin".
3. If you have got our Preview of StormC you have already got these
files too.
You only have to add the following files:
In the includes drawer the directories:
datatypes
devices
diskfont
dos
exec
gadgets
graphics
hardware
intuition
libraries
prefs
resources
rexx
utility
workbench
In the libs drawer the libraries:
amiga.lib
small.lib
debug.lib
ddebug.lib
Please do not use the includes of other compilers or directly these
of other compilers or our Preview. We have altered some of them,
so they will only work the way we told you.
V. MagicMenu and SUN-Mouse-Utilities
====================================
If you use MagicMenu the mouse pointer freezes up to 10 seconds if you
are pressing the right mouse button over an icon of the icon bar. This
is because MagicMenu is not very OS compliant.
The same problem can appear with other SUN mouse utilities too.
