- Having read most of the articles before this, I'd like to add my voice.
-
- AMOS DOES multitask, but not in the same way as everything else. You cn switch
- between an AMOS program and workbench using amiga-A I think.
-
- With respect to screen blankers, it doesn't work, mainly because of the different
- way it multitasks.
-
- I wish people would not judge the language on a quick look at it. There is one
- particular magazine writer who regularly slams AMOS PD, because you can't get
- a list of devices/volumes. Maybe he should try the right hand button?
-
- True, the way AMOS does stuff is different, and true it can't produce the kind of
- stuff that a machine code expert could produce. But compared to Amiga BASIC.......
-
- For producing proffesional results with the minimum effort it is fantastic.
-
- But just wait for AMOS Pro, now that's something REAL special............
