Hello all,
  I've been swamped over the last few days with requests for my AMtuition
update.. perhaps it was my use of the word "FREE" in the offer that
caused all this interest :-)
 I think people may have misunderstood my meaning slightly though. I used
words to the effect of:
"..this update is free, though the original was licenseware"
..which people have taken to mean (I suspect) that the whole product is
now available free. That's not quite what I meant.. the update is only a
part of the Amtuition system, rather than the whole thing.
 For those on the list who may not remember my incessant mentions of
Amtuition a few months ago :-) it might be worth just clarifying what
AMtuition is and isn't:
1) it doesn't allow you to open proper public/custom Intuition screens,
   nor does it support the AGA chipset (at least, no more than AMOS
   itself does as standard). If you want this, you'd be better to go for the
   "proper" Intuition extension (I can't remember who wrote this though..
   Andy Church perhaps?)
2) AMtuition is just a library of procedures that make your AMOS programs
   look and feel like they're running under Intuition, with features like:
    -draggable windows (full-window dragging in the latest update)
    -bevel boxes
    -listview boxes
    -cycle gadgets
    -very comprehensive file, font and palette requesters that do all the
     work for you (similar in look and concept to reqtools.library)
   and more.

If you thought it was more than this, I'm sorry; perhaps I should have
made my meaning clearer. It's still a very impressive product though (in
my unbiased opinion :-) ) and makes it very easy to give your programs
proper kickstart 3.0 or 2.x -alike interfaces.
 If you want to see it in action, take a look at /dev/amos/amtudemo.lha
on Aminet. The full package contains extensive documentation and lots of
example code.
 Although it's licenseware, and so theoretically you've got to pay
UKP3.50 or equivalent to get a copy, I can let anyone who's interested in
it have a special version of AMtuition; send me e-mail at
[e-mail] if you want this.

Regards,

 David Hollway.
