Problem trying to install Storm C

[davideo]

I've installed a few C editors and compilers - including GCC, Dice, Hisoft C++ and now would like to try Storm C before deciding on the final one to use to advance my knowledge of C with.

I've grabbed the free version of Storm C off the net but when I try and install it - it asks for AmigaFuture@60 and won't progress without it.

Is there a legal version of this kicking around or somewhere cheap to buy it? I don't want to spend a fortune because it may not be the final choice I make and then would be a waste of cash

I don't understand, it's asking for an email address? I don't recall this.

My mistake - I missed the colon off the end. It seems to be asking either for a disk or CD as in AmigaFuture@60: It's this editor that is underlining the name because of the @. The original script is looking to copy something off it iinto Ram: then renames it and then runs that new script.

I found another install script hidden away in the files early this morning that I'm now deciphering. It may hold the answer for me.

I assume that it would be wanting Amiga Future magazine cover CD #60.

I'm a silly bugger - of course

Time to do some more deciphering or cd iso hunting

Thanks, Dave G

Deciphered the script and found the problem of installation.

A directory in the archive needed renaming!!

The place I wanted to put StormC required creating first and then assigning before starting the hidden script.

A few files left to rename on the new installation now and then I should be able to test it out.

I thought Version 3 was but I only found out the other day that Version 4 is still being sold

I've actually managed to get it installed now - I just needed to make a couple of changes in the script and file names.

No, the Version are not freeware, too.
The Version on the AF CD was the fullversion, but not free.

In that case I apologise.

Now removed from the Zone because of the above
