NorthC Version 1.2 September 1990
(c) 1990 S.Hawtin.
NorthC by Steve Hawtin
Welcome to NorthC Version 1.2, this is the latest version of NorthC, a
complete public domain 'C' environment for the Amiga. NorthC 1.2 has been
released as a two disk set, this disk "NorthC" contains all the programs and
data required to compile and link 'C' programs, the other disk called
"NorthC Examples" contains the source code for some exaple programs. You are
allowed to copy NorthC and distribute copies, provided you charge no more
than a reasonable copy fee. However there are restrictions about copying
individual files from the disks, for example ":bin/Blink", ":bin/A68K" and
":libs/libc.a", see the appropriate documentation files for details.
All the files and programs that I own the copyright on are released as
CharityWare, if you find them useful you should donate $25 (US) or £15
(sterling) to the national Spastics charity in your country.
I have attempted to create two floppies containing everything you will
need to start programming in 'C', if you wish to make personal copies of
the programs in NorthC you are welcome to play with them. If you are
passing on any of this software please make complete copies of both
floppies, even if you know enough about 'C' to not require all the examples
and documentation someone further down the chain might not be so clever.
**** NOTE ****
If you change the name of this disk from "NorthC" you must edit the file
"setup-NorthC" to assign the name "NorthC:" to the correct directory.
**** NOTE ****
It is my understanding that all the data and programs on this disk can be
freely copied, provided the restrictions noted in the various documentation
files are observed. You use the information and programs on this disk at
your own risk, neither myself or any other member of Alcibiades Cabal
accepts any responsibility for any damage caused as a result of using this
disk.
In order to make full use of 'C' on the Amiga, and to allow you to compile
some of the example programs you will require the "include" files from
Commodore. In the UK these can be obtained by contacting Commodore in
Maidenhead and asking to become a "registered developer". In the USA the
include files are available from Commodore for a nominal $20 fee, you should
write to:
Commodore Business Machines
Software Department
1200 Wilson Drive
West Chester, PA 19380
and ask for the "AmigaDos 1.3 Native Developer Upgrade". In other
countries you will have to find out for yourself. This package contains
more than just the include files, and I have been told that it is well
worth the money.
If you have any comments, flames, bug reports or ideas for future NorthC
developments write to me at,

54 Gloucester Drive,

U.K.
If you want me to reply then please enclose a stamped self addressed envelope,
I cannot afford to pay for postage to everyone who writes in. I would be
most pleased to hear from you if you have any NorthC example programs, I
would really like to see them. If you send examples to me please tell me if
I can include the programs in future releases of NorthC.
