Hello there, I wish to inform everybody who uses my F1GP-Ed program and has not sent me the shareware fee (only 2 fees received, so far), that they should really send me the dosh. Otherwise F1GP-Ed V1.03 will be the final public release. ******************************************************************************** * Oliver Roberts | //// Amiga 600 |##### F1GP-Ed ##### * * (1st Year Comp Sci Student) | //// 2Mb Chip Ram | Customize F1GP/WC * * | \\\X/// Kickstart 37.350| Aminet: game/misc/ * ********************************************************************************

I`m sure there aren`1t too many people who really want to part with cash to fiddle a few figures in F1GP......... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \ Nick Duddy C= VIC-20 3.5K 176*184 16 Color / ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What did you expect F1GP-Ed to do? Add texture-mapping, make it AGA, maybe transform it into ICR? Seriously though, I feel F1GP-Ed adds extra life to F1GP and with a new version in preparation, F1GP-Ed will be even better. I think I will s***V1.03 and go straight to V1.10 as it will have quite a few differences and new features, including the ability to drive at 250 mph! BTW I believe that alot of people will use it (I have received 4 fees so far) ******************************************************************************** * Oliver Roberts | //// Amiga 600 |##### F1GP-Ed ##### * * (1st Year Comp Sci Student) | //// 2Mb Chip Ram | Customize F1GP/WC * * | \\\X/// Kickstart 37.350| Aminet: game/misc/ * ********************************************************************************

Otherwise F1GP-Ed V1.03 will be the final public release. I hope this is the last of this questionable program. As for having to send the dosh yo really need to get a clue about what codeing shareware stuff means. As for the fact that this program is of no major use, unless you're a die hard F1GP fan I find it unbelievable that you charge for it. Check out Linux stuff. most of which is _far_ superior than Amiga FD stuff and is completely free and you nearly always get the full source.

THAT would be more fun! :) oh and Oliver, keep up the good work - nice to see a first year Comp Sci student working towards his future... :) (more like a ***y law student if you ask me... greed! greed! greed!)

So you're saying that people who program shareware shouldn't expect to get the shareware fee, despite the fact that the whole idea of shareware is that you get the program and if you like it you pay for it? Have you written a shareware program yourself and *nobody* has sent you the money despite the fact that you're sure that some people are using it, and is this making you jealous because Oliver got 2 people who sent him the money? I think you are the one in need of a clue about shareware: The rule with Shareware programs is that if you use them you're supposed to pay the author, not the author should be pleased that anyone lowers themselves enough to condescend to paying him. Just because most people don't pay the fee but still use the program doesn't mean that this is what you should do. As for the fact that Oliver charges for the program: have you seen it? It's brought a whole new lease of life to F1GP in my case, now I have to really push myself to beat the opposition, rather than just belting round more than 2 seconds a lap faster than them. It was hardly a minor job to write such a program, imagine having to search through somebody elses binary to find out where the bits to change are. I use F1GP-Ed, and I'm proud to say that I payed double the shareware fee because I thought 5 quid wasn't enough. : Check out Linux stuff. most of which is _far_ superior than Amiga FD : stuff and is completely free and you nearly always get the full source. What then would I do with Linux? Look at it with a text viewer? Sort it into alphabetical order? What if you don't have a compiler? Does it customise F1GP for me? : Neil. -- The kraken stirs.

Oliver I haven't got acess to an Ftp server, if you post your address I'll pass it on to my little brother, he's got the game and might want the editor, then maybe you'll have your third sale, cheers gez
