Announcing PCQ Pascal version 1.2d A friend of mine recently pointed out that not only was I not making any money from PCQ Pascal, but in fact with disks, postage, packing material, telephone bills, documentation, etc, I was actually spending a lot more than I was taking in. In an effort to shrink that gap, I am now offering a registered version of PCQ Pascal for $25 US. From now on, the freely distributable version of PCQ Pascal will remain version 1.2b, although I will still fix bugs as they appear (the version will remain at 1.2b, but the date will be kept current). The unregistered version will consist of: Pascal Version 1.2b of the compiler Pascal.DOC The documentation file Peep The peephole optimizer Include The 1.3 include files Examples Several example programs Make A simple 'make' script PCQ.lib The 1.3 runtime library For the $25 registration fee, you will receive: Pascal Version 1.2d of the compiler, which now includes variant records, an execution profiler, CHIP and FAST keywords, access to mathtrans.library for Cos(), Sin(), etc., (* and *) comments, C calling conventions, variable numbers of parameters, and many other new features. PCQ A very flexible 'make' utility with many options, including the ability to define multi-file 'projects'. Peep The peephole optimizer Pascal.DOC The main documentation file PCQ.doc Documentation for the PCQ utility PCQ.lib.DOC Documentation for all the routines defined in the Include:Utils directory, in a format compatible with DME's REF feature. Include The 1.3 include files, plus the 2.0 include files when they become available. Examples Several example programs PCQ.lib The 1.3 runtime library, plus the 2.0 runtime library when it becomes available. Source The source code for the run-time library For an additional $15, you will receive a printed, bound version of Pascal.DOC and PCQ.lib.DOC. These are not just hardcopies of the files, however - they are completely reformatted to take advantage of the printer. They even have complete indexes. Registered users will recieve updates for the price of a disk and postage, including the 2.0 include files and runtime library as soon as they are available (updating for AmigaDOS 2.0 is one of several impending expenses that caused me to consider a registered version). If you have sent me money in the past I will be happy to apply it to your registration fee. You'll have to remind me about it, however, because until now there wasn't any reason to keep track. For the latest registered version of PCQ Pascal, send $25 in any form my bank can understand (which is just about anything) to: Patrick Quaid 8320 E. Redwing Scottsdale, AZ 85250 USA If you include another $15 I'll also send you the printed documentation. Please remember to write your name and address neatly on the inside of the envelope, if possible.
