- About EdgeWare & Robert Lang
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- EdgeWare is a software group developed by myself, Robert Lang, with the
- intention of providing quality software to users and developers.
-
- About Me :
- ~~~~~~~~
- I am a developer with a 3000UXD, that's an Amiga 3000 with 9 megs of RAM,
- running UNIX with a 200 meg hard drive. I have developed lots of public domain,
- shareware, and custom programs (ie. for people who have requested software
- for a specific task), but as yet haven't developed anything commercial in
- the sense of mass distribution....mainly due to time constaints....this being
- my last year in my Computer Engineering degree at Newcastle University,
- I hope to get some time to develop something sooner or later. I also have
- a 500 with little bits of hardware on it, and a Bit Blitzer 2400 baud modem
-
- I regularly use the following software, and give credit to the authors :
-
- GPTerm - by Greg Perry of GPSoftware, for all my communications.
- Macro68 - by DigiSoft, the most awesome assembler bar none !
- ReSource - by Glen McDiarmid, what can I say ??? Its the best !
- CygnusEd - my favourite editor after trying a few !
- FullView - PD program by Jonathon Potter, view text files just the
- way I like it.
- PowerPacker - to save myself some diskspace, everyone knows this program !
- ToolManager - the *best* Workbench 2 companion.
-
- and more that I should name....
-
- Plus support ALL AUSTRALIAN SOFTWARE.....
-
- Achievements:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Apart from the software developments, I also write reviews for various
- magazines, and my articles have been published around the world...even
- though I only submit to Australian magazines, they still make it around !
-
- Believe it or not, some of my articles and PD programs have been translated
- into other languages !!!
-
- I do a lot of work for MegaDisc Digital Publishing (AUSTRALIA), including
- selling magazines at shows, articles, programming, answering questions
- and all sorts of stuff !
-
- I've supplied, organise, and reviewed a lot of PD software for Megadisc,
- including my popular Topik disks (hey, I'm no Fred Fish, though !) and
- more recently "MegaArc" disks.
-
- I have also beta-tested various pieces of software for Australian Companies,
- and enjoy doing this, so send me something and I'll test it ! Remember,
- tinkering is my hobby !
-
- I've taught many lectures on the Amiga, from beginning level to advanced,
- as well as programming lectures...
-
- I have assisted with Bulletin Boards run for the Amiga, and managed
- many Bulletin Board Amiga Areas for people who are mainly IBM and have
- Amiga sections.
-
- Worked for some time in retail at a local chain of Amiga Stores....
-
- Probably a lot that I haven't mentioned, like I receive a scholarship
- from BHP Newcastle for my Computer Engineering degree....and have developed
- a lot of software on various non-Amiga platforms.
-
- Most importantly, I can summarise what I haven't listed here by saying
- that I've had my hand in a lot of the Amiga in Australia !!!
-
- But hey, I figure that anyone person who recognises the power of the Amiga
- is doing the same all over the world...
-
- Contact Me !
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- All my current software is developed as a "hobby", where I sit and tinker
- for a few hours and produce something useful to myself and release it in the
- hope that it may be useful to others....I've received many letters indicating
- this (as well as donations !), and this is what keeps me going.
-
- Sometimes I wonder why I have time to develop lots of little toys and not
- one big package, and the simple explanation is that its a great stress relief
- that is helping me get through Uni, and also a fantastic learning tool so
- that when I have the time I'll have the ability as well.
-
- You can contact me at the address below for any software development for
- the Amiga at all (actually I can develop on various platforms, but the
- Amiga is my favourite !), whether its for a PD request, changes to existing
- programs, commerical development, or custom programs, reviews of
- software/hardware, distribution of software/hardware, ANYTHING at all...
-
- You can even write to just comment or chat, I'll reply either way....
-
- Naturally, all donations are accepted, they'll just give me more incentive
- to keep on developing !
