Then comes the bit when it costs... Refunds never include the P&P originally charged or the return P&P so I lose money on a product I'm disatisfied with... If it's SHAREWARE then I'll give it a go and if I can use it to port over some useful utils that I've already ported to the SAM under Prodos then I'll gladly register it:-) Otherwise when and IF I ever need to port essential utils to SAM native mode I'll just spend a month or so writing some SamDos stdio libs for Hi-Tech C and cross-compile from Prodos to create the utils and it'll not cost me a penny plus I'd have a full K&R preprocessor and near ANSI z80 code generator;-) Who ever's doing this port must add support for unsigned long types, that was one thing that was sorely missing from the Speccies HiSoft C and if my memory serves me correctly Small C doesn't implement them either. Floating point support is not too essential for most utils, infact I've not had cause to use the Hi-Tech floating point routines at all yet!
