Box 4487 Cary, N.C. 27519-4487 DICE comes complete with: Compiler, Debugger, Linker, Profiler, Assembler, Online Help ———– In order to speed the development process, DiceHelp allows immediate access to all DICE and Amiga subroutines with just a single keystroke. In addition, a C language reference and all error messages are immediately accessible. DiceHelp works with your favorite editor. VMake and VOpts ————— In order to speed development, DICE includes a set of visual development tools that allow you to quickly edit, compile, link, and debug your project without having to resort to the CLI or continually type commands to invoke the compiler. VMake eliminates the tedium of maintaining a Makefile by letting you just enter the files for the project and tell it the type of project to build. It even will read and write Makefiles so that you can resort to the CLI if you feel more comfortable. Include Files ————- Because people wish to develop source code that works under all versions of the Amiga Operating System, DICE includes several sets of header files. You can choose which of these includes to reference based on an environment variable or compiler option. Libraries ——— This is one area where DICE really shines. Included are libraries which provide ANSI, Unixtm, and general Amiga compatibility. These libraries are provided in a number of models allowing for linking with just about any normal program. However there are cases where something fancy needs to be done, or a special combination of library switches is used for which a library hasn't been supplied. For this, we also provide the complete source code to the libraries along with the configuration scripts to build them. I really like this compiler and docs are rather good. Contact OIC: they have upgrade offer from freeeware version of DICE I believe. Igor |\______________________ |_From Brazil with Amiga_\
