- TeleReplica Registration Form
- =========== ============ ====
-
- Note: It is assumed you have already obtained and evaluated a copy of
- TeleReplica. Your registration is for the benefit you have already
- received from TeleReplica.
-
- TeleReplica source code should compile on any PC that is running
- Turbo C++ version 1.01 and Turbo Assembler version 2.01. It is
- likely to require minor modification for other versions of Turbo
- C, and significant modifications for other C compilers. Source
- code is all either C or assembler. In total there is about 390K
- of C code, plus about 90K of assembler!
-
- WARNING: The source code is very complicated (partly due to the
- nature of the program), tangled (many of the source
- files are riddled with conditional preprocessor
- directives so that several different object files can
- be produced from the one source file), sparsely
- commented (I can offer no excuse for this!), and
- frequently poorly structured (it "grew" over several
- years, starting life as a dumb terminal program, and
- unfortunately each new capability patched in increased
- the program's entropy). Personally I think the program
- is about due to be written again from scratch with
- a proper design (as Brooks says, "Plan to throw one
- away; you will, anyhow.") However, as the current
- version does all I need, and as the relatively small number
- of registrations I have received over the past year or so
- hardly justify my devoting a lot of time to the program (my
- apologies and thanks to those who have registered), I have
- decided to "throw it away" in the direction of other
- programmers who may find at least parts of the code
- interesting, or who may even be able to add in new features
- required for their own particular environments and
- applications.
-
- On a more positive note, I do at least provide a make
- file so that all the programs can be re-created simply.
-
- Also, be aware that we can only provide 3.5" 720K disks.
-
- Source code will be provided for your own private use only. If
- you modify it, you may use the modified version in place of the
- standard version under the standard licence agreement. You may also
- use parts of the code in totally different applications. However,
- you are explicitly prohibited from distributing my source code to
- others, and also from distributing modified versions of the executable
- programs. [Anyone who wants to release a new improved TeleReplica,
- using my code as a starting point, is welcome to discuss up front
- payment and/or royalty arrangements, but I am going to want
- significantly more than one flat $25.00 fee!]
-
- BONUS: The source code for TeleReplica will also generate a few
- other programs. One is a simple terminal emulation program:
- the program out of which TeleReplica grew. The other programs
- allow you to log a TeleReplica session (that is, record
- exactly what appears on the screen and what is typed on the
- replica PC), to edit a logged session (to include comments
- explaining what is going on etc) and to play back a logged
- session as a more-or-less interactive tutorial. None of these
- programs are tidy enough to be worth releasing by themselves,
- and are probably not useful enough to justify the effort,
- but some people may enjoy playing with them and it would be
- more trouble than it was worth to eliminate them!
-
-
- The following details are optional. If you provide them (and if
- you register) then you will be notified of any further major release
- of TeleReplica. Registered users are entitled to use all future
- releases without additional registration fees. You should obtain
- any new release in whatever way you obtained your first copy.
