Summary: 2.0 in the works, upgrade will cost $20

[]

I got in the smail today issue #1 of 'printf', the (new) Megamax newsletter.
They say they are working on version 2.0, and will notify registers users.
That upgrade will cost $20.  Version 2.0 will have DRI-compatible object files
and no more 32K limits.  Also promised: new, faster, shell, better RCS, full
MAKE, new docs.

Meanwhile, upgrade to 1.1 is free. They give a long list of changes since 1.0,
in the compiler, editor, shell, RCS, library... (mostly bug fixes).
Send your original disks in with a suitable SASE.

An example XBTIMER interrupt handler program is in this issue to show how to
write an interrupt handler in C with a small AL dispatcher that sets up
the right register environment for the C code.

A Megamax BBS is announced "for use by registered developers".
The number is (214) 696-8326.

Looks like Megamax is finally waking up (due to the competition?).
I have heard rumors of a new FP package in the works, but that is
not mentioned in the newsletter.
