- Monday, 6pm, and it's raining hard outside. The farmers
- must be happy right now because the rain is good for the fields.
- Rain, however, is bad for outdoors basketball, which means
- it's good for the Amoner magazine because I sit and work
- on it instead of playing outdoors basketball with my friend.
- I wonder if farmers think of outdoor basketball at a time
- like this. Oh well, whatever . . .
-
- Now that I've drained that rainy subject, I guess
- we better talk about the disk which rests inside your disk
- drive right now: The Amoner Disk. What do we have on it
- this time? Well, first we have quite an impressive graph
- producing program called "AGraph." This good-looking entry
- is by Dave Smith from the United Kingdom. The program is
- shareware and only the compiled code is available on the
- disk. Source will be received by those who register
- (see the Agraph docs). As we've started talking about
- shareware, some of you probably wonder what is it all about.
- good! The Article "Shareware - The Solution" comes to clarify
- the idea behind shareware with some minor reference in its usage
- with AMOS. Paul Holt & Stefo (who is wanted so we can't give
- out his real name) burst out with another interesting entry -
- Gunner. This program is under 10k, but it's graphic+music banks
- almost run my poor computer out of memory... notice the
- impresive looking intoduction. As for the game itself, well,
- hmmmm, what were we talking about? ah yes! we have a new section
- on our disk, "Tiny Hacks." Here, we are expecting programs of any
- kind that answer one rule: they have to be under 10k, including
- memory banks. This disk contains two "Tiny Hacks." The first is
- by our Assistant Editor, Michael Cox, that calculates bank loans.
- The other is "Explode," a small strategy game (by me) that can
- provide you with hours of fun (I hope). Since small programs are
- easier to follow, we feel they could provide you with good study
- material. Writers of "Hacks" are asked to provide us with good
- documentation. Thank you.
-
- Next Disk is already on it's way and should be out by
- the beginning of December. Accpect the winning entry for the Knight
- trip programming puzzle, An interesting musical display equliser
- from Dave Smith (good work dave!), a simple word puzzle game for
- the young and the old and much much more. The new disk will
- also contain a more consist start-up program which we will use
- in our future disks. New entries for the knight trip problem are
- still accpted, and will be till the 30 of november.
-
-
- Last, let's not forget to say that the programs on this disk are
- written with "Amos - The creator" from Mandarin Software. Yea!

- end...
