AMOS Mailing List FAQ
Updated July 16, 1997 by Michael Cox (mcox@access.digex.net)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part I RULES OF THE MAILING LIST
1. To subscribe or unsubscribe send the message to either me or
amos-request@access.digex.net. DO NOT send them to the amos-list
address. Put SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message
so I know what you want.
2. If you want to distribute a file:
a) upload it to Aminet and post an announcement to the
list
b) email it to me and I will upload it to Aminet
c) post a message to the list asking who wants it mailed to them
and then mail it to those who give permission
3. Arguments over anything should be done via private email.
4. If a message to you is returned undeliverable, I will check the reason
why and then decide if I should delete you from the list. So, if you
do not get messages for 2 days in a row, email me and I will let you
know what has happened.
5. No messages about pirating, removing protection from demos, etc. I
don't have time to be a policeman, so let's try to be self-policing!
6. The AMOS List is amos-list@access.digex.net
Part II COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT AMOS
1) What is AMOS?
AMOS is a BASIC language. It has many more commands than AmigaBASIC
and can let you do more powerful things so it is a Superset of BASIC. If you
can program in BASIC, you can code in AMOS. I think AMOS stands for AMiga
Operating System but do not quote me on it!
AMOS is an interpreted language but you can buy the Compiler for it
which will let you compile your programs into an AmigaDOS executable. Then
you can distribute your program without its source. Obviously, compiled
programs are much faster. If you do not want to pay for the Compiler you can
still distribute your programs using a runtime version of AMOS called RAMOS.
2) What is AMOS Pro and Easy AMOS?
Well, first a bit of history. AMOS The Creator (AMOS) came first.
Then, Easy AMOS was developed. Finally, less than a year ago (Oct 1992)
AMOS Professional (Pro) was released.
AMOS The Creator was first designed to be like the Atari's STOS but
when Lionet saw how the Amiga was more powerful than the Atari he revamped it
and made it a pure Amiga product. In the beginning AMOS and the manual were
rough and found it hard to get along with all Amigas. However, due to the
policy of free updates, AMOS is much more friendly to the AmigaOS. The manual
has not been updated so do not be surprised to find 'undocumented' commands and
features.
Easy AMOS was designed to help introduce beginner programmers to AMOS
and programming. A few commands were removed from AMOS and a better user
interface was created to make the environment as friendly as possible. Also,
the manual was designed with the beginner in mind and is more of a tutorial
than a reference manual.
AMOS Professional was designed with the professional coder in mind.
The environment was revamped and made even better than Easy AMOS. It has a
cleaner look with a better editor. Also, many new commands were added, making
it the most complex of the 3. For those who have been with AMOS since its
Creator days, you will know that Pro is much more friendlier to the AmigaOS
and to machines with differing configurations.
NOTE: Europress *AND* Francois Lionet have dropped all support for AMOS at this
time. AMOS Pro was on a coverdisk. Source code will not be released to a
small group for updating/fixing. The price of the code is way too high.
3) What is the latest versions?
As of May 1, 1996, they are:
AMOS The Creator v1.36
AMOS Compiler v1.36
AMOS Professional v2.0
AMOS Pro Compiler v2.0
4) Where can I get the updates?
There are many ways:
A) If you do not have FTP access, I can uuencode it and
email it to you
B) If you live in the USA, you can send me a disk and one
32 cent stamp for return postage and I will snail mail
it to you. Email me for my Snail Mail address.
If anyone knows of any other ways, please let me know so I can add it to the
list.
To update to AMOS Pro v2.0, you must buy the Pro Compiler. I have not seen or
heard of any other way, so please correct me if I am wrong.
5) What extension slots are being used? Thanks to Steffen Medrow

8) RUMORS
Brian Bell's Mr. AMOS Club (listed in section 7) were apparently robbed right
after they moved into a new building and did not have insurance. They lost
5000pounds worth of equipment and have had to sell the rights to Charlie Chimp
I and II, and Spacefighter to get some minimal equipment. Their PD disk has
stoppped as of issue 6. No word as to whether or not they will start again.
