- 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 1.1
- ==========================
-
- StormC 1.1 [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 1.1.)

- 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.
-
-
- 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.
-
