#93547 - the crux
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I am sure its very nice but ....,see that its limited to 2 K in the demo .... crippled to such an extent that they are unuasble

You are absolutely rignt, I have never been able to evaluate anything using an eval.

I think that real story is reflected by a response to "are you using the eval?" which was "of course, I use the eval".

The crux, thus, is that if the toolmakers made useable evals, they would sell no product. So what do they do.

I think the eval is not really an eval, but a means of making amateurs, hobbyists and others that may, some day, become professionals have "something" that makes them choose barnd x should they ever purchase anything.

I have never had any trouble getting a full version for evaluation by asking. When I was at a place where we were to buy 8 sets (compiler - assembler - ICE etc) every manufacturer contacted, save one * sent me a full version after I signed a "will not use it for real work" document.

* Tasking, Instead of a package I got the statement "You do not need to evaluate, just buy ours, it is the best". Tasking did not get evaluated and did not get purchased.
