GoldED Studio updated, C/C++ IDE for MorphOS, Special Offer

[Dietmar]

GoldED Studio AIX is a text editor, text-based HTML editor and integrated development system for C/C++ development, compatible with AmigaOS3 and MorphOS. The latest release is available at a special price, for a limited time and while stock lasts.

What's new?

This is the first official GoldED Studio release that is fully compatible with MorphOS. This means that not only does the software work perfectly with MorphOS but that development material for MorphOS is fully integrated into the C/C++ mode, with documentation, the MorphOS includes (material included with kind permission of Genesi) etc. For other changes such as a new BASIC interpreter and a prettier user interface, please check the history file

Cross development C/C++ IDE

The primary goal with the improved C/C++ mode is to provide a unified development environment for developers targeting AmigaOS3 and MorphOS with their software. To that end, different flavours of free compilers are integrated, such as gcc3.3 for AmigaOS3 and gcc-morphos for Pegasos computers. vbcc, which is a multi platform compiler for m68k and ppc, is included on the CD as well, with kind permission of Volker Barthelman. These compilers can be installed simultaneously and switching from the AmigaOS3 compiler to the MorphOS compiler is just a mouse click away. Syntax highlighting makes it easier to recognize functions that are only available under one operating system.

Web site and screenshots

You can find screenshots on the official web site:

Free Download

A trial version can be downloaded on the official web site. Trial versions contain all features of the full version but are limited to editing small documents such as web sites and e-mails (in that context, the trial version is fully functional, so you will at least get a free HTML editor . Two flavours can be downloaded:

The small trial includes the editor and most add-ons but only a fraction of the C/C++ mode (enough to evaluate, not enough to use) and no spell checking. At 4 MB, this is the recommended download for most users.
Download

The complete trial is an image of the full GoldED CD with several huge C/C++ compilers. You only want to download that if you are interested in gcc but never managed to install it, it will give you mouseclick installation of several excellent free compilers in addition to a GoldED test drive. It might also be worth a download if you want spell checking in e-mails. This archive is a 86MB download. Please note that it will only be available for a short time (day or days) due to lack of web space on my side.

I thought you were dropping out of codeing GoldED... I know quite a few people who were annoyed about not getting there reduced cost/free (cant remember specifics) upgrade like a lot of resellers were doing a couple of years back....

Good you are still codeing it btw, its an excellent package, as you know I bought it direct from you.... :-)

[Dietmar]

> I know quite a few people who were annoyed about not getting there reduced cost/free

Quite a few people? Are you kidding?  I have no clue what you mean and would definitley have preferred not reading a  vague accusation in a forum. Now please go ahead and explain, and it better be good. If this should be a reference to my refusal to upgrade GoldED6 disks in the UK two years or so ago:

Alive Mediasoft at that time did sell GoldED disks to UK end users and through dealers. Those disks were illegal duplicates of a sample CD and were distributed without royalties payed. This came to light when UK users could not upgrade in the absence of a valid serial number. If you were one of the customers defrauded at the time: too bad but #### happens.

Voyager just shows ".PNG" (in ascii) instead of the screenshots.
A bit weird, I can see other PNGs with voyager ?

Okay, I understand what you're saying above, that some company made illegal duplicates of a cover disk and passed them off as the real thing, but was this scathing response really warranted? :-?

I just felt like it and it's healthy to express your feelings As to Alive Mediasoft, they contacted me, said they might be interested in becoming a reseller there and requested a sample. Once received, that was duplicated and sold to end users and dealers for months (the real thing, not a cover CD).

Right im back with some more details of my "accusation". Sorry if I offended you I wasnt my intention. Anyway I spoke to a friend who says he bought GoledED6 from Kicksoft a couple of years ago and at the time the deal was he would get GoldED7 for free... As GoldED7 never arrived he never got a free upgrade... see my point... However since GoldEDAIX is almost 7 just not quite it seems a little unfair to the paying customers who bought GoldED6 expecting to get a free upgrade to golded7..... I spose it not really your problem.. its more the fault of the dealers but still my original point is valid. I didnt think you were going to continue to code GoldED anymore... and it is still good that you are, its one of the great programs that continue to the let the amiga shine through most other platforms.... I see I am rambling now so I shall shutup and go do other less interesting things... :-)

No, I don't. When GoldED AIX was relased, the upgrade was free for late GoldED6 customers who had the next version included in the price:  It's just that I chose another name than "GoldED7" (the version number of AIX is 7.x). The free upgrade option was available for months on my web site. All you had to do was click on "discounts apply". It was a CD-based update, so the software was free and the p&p was not but that shouldn't have upset anyone.
