Hi Chaos,
SciTech used to provide a linkable version of UNIVBE so that
when your program starts it runs UNIVBE.  But you might have to
purchase univbe from scitech for that.

Meaning I would pay for it.? Unfortunatelly I can't afford it.

I got my non expiring copy of univbe from a game called Settlers2.
How this happenned was that Scitech releases fully functional trial
versions of UNIVBE (SDD) and AFAIK there are no restrictions for
distributing the trial version.
However the game company has also added a program
(CRACK.EXE) to crack UNIVBE and fake registering it. So after
getting the game and running crack.exe on univbe I got a fully
functional version of UNIVBE which gave me VBE2.0 support and
I've been using it ever since.

There is no like having a good cracked progream is it? ;-)
They say: need is mother of inventions ;-)

So IMHO you should be able to bundle the trial univbe version and
a program to crack it (there are sooo many on the www) with your
game without any copyright infringment  or illegal things occuring.

By all means please check up on what i've said from experts about
such matters. Maybe there are some legal gurus on this list who
would like to comment?.

Right. I am joining to that ask. Did anyone triad such a "walk arround".
Kalum, first of all I am going to see what SciTech Software is going to tell
me.

>BTW. Is there, in DJGPP, a way to get assembler source of C >source. I
searched but with no success. In Borland 3.1 -S switch >did that.

Please have a look at section 8.20 the DJGPP FAQ as it has info
about  the above problem. But for your quick reference here is a
small part of it listed below

*A*: Use the `-S' (note: *capital* S) switch to GCC, and it will emit
the
assembly code to a file with a `.s' extension.  For example, the
following
command:

       gcc -O2 -S -c foo.c

will leave the generated assembly code on the file `foo.s'.

If you want to see the C code together with the assembly it was
converted to,
use a command line like this:

      gcc -c -Wa,-a,-ad [other GCC options] foo.c > foo.lst

which will output the combined C/assembly listing to the file
`foo.lst'.

Thank you so much.
I'm begging everyone for mercy because of my lasyness in reding
documentation (specially FAQ). Next time I wuldn't ask so silly questions.
Promise.

Hope this Help!
Grendel

Sure did!

Take care.
