- Registering PowerFantasm or Fantasm.
- ————————————————————————————————————
-
- PowerFantasm and Fantasm is available only direct from Lightsoft. We do
- not use distributers or any other form of middle men. This is to keep costs down.
-
- Why should you register Fantasm?
- ————————————————————————————————
-
- a) For the sense of Honour.
- b) Because its a good product.
-
- (still not convinced huh?)
-
- c) Because you don't get the annoying bits.
- d) Because it isn't limited.
- e) Because registering gives you lots of information.
- f) Because we try to help people who have registered.
- g) Because people who register always get priority treatment when it comes to
- upgrade time, and get the next version at much cut costs.
- h) Because if you find a bug thats stopping you, being registered means we will
- probably 'stop, listen, fix and upgrade' you for nothing.
- i) Because you get all the bits you don't get in the unregistered distribution,
- including all the tools you need, the reference manual(mandatory!), example
- projects, full beginners guide, the source code for the libraries, headers etc.
- j). Because we publish hints, tips, Q&A's, other peoples examples, bug reports,
- anything that concerns Fantasm and our users.
- k). We actively promote feedback in order to get an idea of what people want
- to see in Fantasm and future products.
- l). Because we spend ages on post production, ensuring you get a system
- you can have confidence in.
- m). Because Lightsoft is run by professionals - professional programmers,
- graphics people, testers, proof readers etc.
- n). Because if you need a facility, and we can see a wide use for it, you'll
- probably get it in a future release.
- o). Because we prefer our customers to grow with us. We take pride in our
- tech support service, and have customers who have used Fantasm all the way
- from V1.00. Our upgrades are sometimes free (as in the case of V3.2) and
- sometimes charged, but never highly.
-
- Of all the reasons above, we personaly would find i) the most compeling reason,
- coupled with the fact that a programming tool like Fantasm IS PART OF YOU. It becomes
- your gateway into the computer. For how many hours do you exchange with it?
-
- We LIKE to give out unregistered copies. OK, so we do cripple them a bit*. BUT
- we cannot possibly support the development of such a large project without cash
- input. The time alone makes us vastly underpaid. At least we don't charge what
- obscene amounts various other 'development tool' producing companies charge for
- their wares.
- (* but not so they not fully usable!)
-
-
-
- What disks do I get with the registered version?
- ————————————————————————————————————————————————
-
- These descriptions tentative only - Fantasm is an ongoing product, and we reserve the
- right to change the package makeup at any time. At the time of writing these are our
- best guesses.
-
- Fantasm V4 68k comes on three HD disks and expands to about 8 Megabytes.
- PowerFantasm comes on 6 HD disks and expands to 19 megabytes, as we include lots of
- general PowerPC documentation and useful bits and pieces.
-
-
- Makeup of PowerFantasm currently as follows:
- ————————————————————————————————————————————
- Full versions of Eddie, PowerFantasm, Librarian V2.
- The full 127 A4 page user manual.
- 153 A4 page reference manual including all PowerPC instructions, Fragment description,
- etc.
- Source code to all libraries and examples, both 68k and PowerPC.
- 51 header files for imports/macros etc.
- The full beginners guide explaining how we produced the FAT version of "The Creation"
- Over 10 Megabytes of related PowerPC and other documentation.
- Over 2.5 Megabytes of essential utilities.
- Guaranteed free* upgrade to 4.1 when available. (est. Summer 96).
- Free lifetime support via one of two email support lines.
- *You pay only handling
-
-
- So whats the price?
- ———————————————————
- 68K Fantasm 4 - 30 UK Pounds Sterling or 48 U.S. dollars.
