I always post aproximations, as I never know when the numbers are going to change. For now, the cost is: annual startup cost cost ------ ------- certified $ 75 $ 25 commercial $ 450 $ 50 I've updated this info too. Send mail to: CATS-Admin 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 And ask for information on the developer support program. I believe that you can also call (215) 431-9180 and they will send you the info. There are two developer levels, both require that you be working on a product that you believe will make it to market. Developer status includes a subscription to AmigaMail (our technical newsletter), access to beta software, access to developers conferences, and access to closed conferences on BIX. Commercial status also includes phone support. Certified Developer, $75/year, no phone support, no other requirements. $25 signup cost. Commercial Developer, $450/year, phone support, requires that you have an existing product on the market. $50 signup cost. CATS also offers materials such as DevCon notes, 1.3 Developer Update, and AmigaMail. Prices and ordering information are available at the above address. Most of the CATS developer support materials are available to non-developers, so you can get the technical information even if you do not want to become a developer. -- -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - (215) 431-9421 - Commodore Business Machines uucp: ken@cbmvax.commodore.com or ...{uunet,rutgers}!cbmvax!ken bix: kfarinsky
