Attached is an extract from the "catalog" which comes with MICRO-C.  Don't
write to me about this, I am just a very satisfied user of the product.
The catalog is out of date (maybe that's why it says the price is $35) and
doesn't mention that Micro-C supports the 8051, but I understand from 
Dave that the 8051 code generator is now included.

                    *** Catalog revised 11-Dec-90 ***

    Here is a list of software/firmware products which I currently have
available:

    Anyone placing any order or registration will receive a current edition
of this catalog. You may also obtain a new catalog at any time by sending me
a self addressed, stamped envelope.

    Due to confusion about the prices in previous catalogs, All prices now
INCLUDE the cost of a "current" disk. If you wish to REGISTER a shareware
product which you have acquired by other means WITHOUT receiving the current
revision of that product on disk, deduct $5 from the prices quoted.

    You may order an update (on diskette) for any product which you have
already purchased, at a nominal update fee.

    All software will normally be shipped on 5.25" MS-DOS compatable 360K
diskettes. Other media/formats may be available by special request.
    
    All disks include complete documentation in the form of ASCII text files,
however registered users may also order high quality laser printed copies of
the documentation for a nominal fee. These may be ordered separately, or in
addition to the initial order.



    Please send all correspondence to:
