> the MorphOS version developed at 30 minutes per session...

So he has MorphOS-compatible hardware already?

Quote:

I believe he does, but I cannot remember the specs.
Still, you don't need a powerhouse to run a word processor.
The price for registering it would be dependant on the specs.

I can see where you are headed Andreas, but it seemed simplier to send him an already registered system with the development software installed then to expect him to set it up himself.

I have asked both of them that very question, but neither Carsten or Claus seemed too 'smitten' / enthusiastic about going that route, sadly

Claus develope in C++, i develope in C.

Jim I received Claus' answer via email and he wrote he has got a Mac mini 1.42 yet with MorphOS installed. Therefore he suggested to donate the G4 to another programmer which could benefit of this MorphOS machine much more than him.
Great man!
I will wait for the beta to use my paypal. He deserve.

OK, thanks, after such a long wait, for explaining the reason for the issues there would be in working together, which is a pity, but understandable.

Hope there is still continued progress with Calimero, and thanks Carsten for the quick reply as well.

Well...that got very little resolved.
Claus has a MacMini (not my favorite MorphOS platform, but wtf), but he still does not have the OS registered.
And, thanks to the way registration and regtool work I can't just pay for his registration.
Well, its hard to recommend that others support a project when I have issues with it's development myself.
So hopefully Carsten will continue to work on his program.

I wll gladly donate a reasonable amout of money in a Bounty to let Claus getting a full MorphOS License.

I think that is a very kind offer, but you can't really expect a developer to necessarily address the issue that was the cause of a donation.
Everyone, I want you to consider this, I don't expect to dictate to Claus how he spends his donations.
So...if you like the program, donate.
Personally, I like what the program could be.
So I was really stuck as to how to help further its development.
Obviously, one way would be to assure that Claus has a development system that has a registered version of the OS on it.

1.42GHz G4 MacMini is not the best platform for developing MorphOS, due to only having 32mb VRAM, so it would probably still be a good idea to send him a preconfigured 1.5GHz G4 Silent Upgrade MacMini, or a 1.67GHz G4 PowerBook, to do his MorphOS development work and testing on. Those two systems are the most capable, while also being the easiest to ship.

It makes no sense to ship a G4, or G5 PowerMac system, due to the size and weight, unless someone lives close to the developer in question and can deliver it in person. I like Jim's idea of pre-installing the latest version of MorphOS, the SDK (and any other development tools needed), and registering MorphOS on that system, before sending it out to the developer.

Thanks, it seemed simplier to me as well.
After all, rather than setting up the system, he could move straight to using it.
I also like the idea of sending a Powerbook.
Shipping would be much more affordable.
Yasu (and a few others) have sourced similar systems in the US and asked me to ship them oversea (so I have some familiarity with the costs).
I'd consider contributing toward get Claus something like that.
