This is one big archive on the disk, which will automatically unpack all of the files to your hard disk, without them being crunched. If however, you have obtained your copy from another library, then you can send an SAE and a disk to me at the Mushroom PD address, where I will be happy to send you it. If you require a registered HD version of Extreme AMOS, then you can only order these from me, and you will recive it when you order the full cost of a magazine. State which version you want when ordering, otherwise you will receive the floppy version. ý Alternatively, when ordering, you can ask for the HD version, ÿ ý which will be sent to you instead. Only original Mushroom PD disks can be exchanged, and any copies of the shareware issues which are obtained from other libraries do not count. ú [Andrew "Mushroom" Kellett] ÷ ÿ ü Mushroom PD titles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ý Mushroom PD supports a lot of AMOS titles, sent directly to me by the programmers themselves.
