Welcome to the second AMONER Project disk!! It is great to be back!
This disk is dedicated to all AMOS users/programmers, especially to
Francois Lionet creator of AMOS. (Mike would like to personally thank
Alison Ford of Europress Customer Service for her great help!)
Now, some quick instructions:
NOTE: THESE PROGRAMS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK ON MACHINES WITH LESS THAN
1024k OF MEMORY.
NOTE NOTE:THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
THESE PROGRAMS ARE "AS IS" AND WE DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR ACTIONS.
(General Disclaimer, huh?? 8)
First, boot from the AMONER002 disk. This will make sure that the
maximum amount of memory is available. Also, the startup file will
attempt to put your machine into PAL mode if it is in NTSC mode.
If you are unable to go from NTSC to PAL because you do not have
the 1MB CHIP AGNUS, you can remove the lines:
paltest
If WARN
palcon >NIL:
boot
EndIf
Also, a little script is executed, which tries to write to a temporary
file in the T directory, so make sure the disk is not write-protected.
The main screen will appear after a short wait. On this screen, you
will see the credits in the middle of the screen surrounded by 4 blue
areas with the word 'Click' in each one.
The options are selected by clicking with the left mouse button (LMB)
on one of the areas containing the word 'Click.' Note that the area turns
red when the Mouse pointer enters the area and the selection that the area
controls appears below the credits.
Editorial/Policy [Upper Left]
EDITORIAL (This is a short letter from Gal-on. A file scroller will
appear.)
POLICY (Just a short note on some of the AMONER Project's policies)
AGraph [Upper Right]
AGRAPH (When you enter this area, a 'commercial' for
AGraph will appear where the credits are. AGraph proves that
AMOS isn't just for games! Check the AMONER002:Doc directory
for more information)
Tiny Hacks [Bottom Left]
EXPLODE (A cute game by Gal-on. Very addictive! Look at the docs in
the Doc directory.)
LOANCALC (A loan calculator that was ported to AMOS. Check the Doc
directory for a little article on porting to AMOS)
Gunner [Bottom Right]
GUNNER (This is another game, by Paul Holt. Great intro and fun
to play! Make sure your stereo is turned up to 11!
To quit the game, press the ESC key)
Quit [Credits Area]
QUIT (We all know what this does. You will be dropped into
the Doc directory in case you wish to view the doc
files. Use the 'less' command to view the files)
We hope you enjoy it and we would appreciate it if you sent us comments,

Enjoy, folx!!
P.S. If you do not like having to boot from the AMONER002 disk, it is very
simple to run the main menu from the CLI. Change your directory to
AMONER002: and enter 'execute s/startupII'. Like so:
1> cd amoner002:<RETURN>
1> execute s/startupII<RETURN>
(The '1>' is the CLI prompt, and '<RETURN>' means press the return key)
The reason that you execute the startupII file is that it determines whether
or not you are going to run AGraph.
