July 1999: UniBasic 6.1.2 Maintenance Release


UniBasic SDK Available Online

The UniBasic Software Development Kit (USDK) is now available, for all currently supported platforms, directly from our public ftp area: http://www.dynamic.com/dist/pub. The USDK is used to add custom CALL's, written in 'C', to the UniBasic language. You do not need this product to develop, modify and support BASIC programs written in UniBasic.

Included with the package is the source code to a number of CALLS. These examples may be used to create your own custom system-level extensions to UniBasic. A new product directory, iris-dev, contains any released USDK's for the specific platform directory you select. For example, http://www.dynamic.com/dist/pub/99/iris-dev selects the directory for SCO Unix (platform 99). If the iris-dev directory does not exist, no USDK has been released for that platform.

Licensing Requirements to use the USDK

To use the USDK, you must have a UniBasic Runtime License and pay a fee to obtain a UniBasic Development License. Authorized Resellers may obtain a UniBasic Development License, at no charge, for each platform on which they have subscribed to Premier Support. Otherwise, the retail price for the UniBasic Development License is $2,300, per platform. Contact sales@dynamic.com for more information.
