- AMOS is an fast interpreted language with a compiler version available
-
- Interpreted mode is better for the debugging, compiled mode is better
- for the run time
-
- AMOS is send with a RAMOS program (Run-only AMOS). It allow someone to
- run your program without AMOS product on-line.
-
- I don't have AMOS PRO, things may be different in that case.
-
- It is possible to write 'real' programs with AMOS, but I think that
- AMOS owners use it more for 'personal' development than for a public
- usage (this only represents MY opinion)
