Hi! i wonder where to buy AMOS? Or is it free? I know i can download the source code of AMOS but how do i make it to run?
I sold my Amiga and all programs for long time ago but i have left all my disks with my amos-games. I regret that i sold it. :-(
I live in Sweden.

You can download .adf disk images of AmosPro and the updates all the way up to version 2.0 (which includes the compiler) from Back to the Roots (http://back2roots.org) but if you want a manual to go with it you'll need to buy it from Software Hut (http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=catalog/other/books/books1_ind.html) here in the U.S.

Thanks!

This (http://stos.atari.st/theme_2_1.html) seems to be the new download site for Amos since the Back to the Roots website has gone offline. I hope some of you find it useful. The disks are saved in .rar format so you'll need to be able to decrunch that format.
-
Note that the word THIS in the previous post is a link. Maybe you could change the color of links in this board so they would be more visible, Sidewinder.
-
Hopefully this new red color will be more useful for links. Thanks SamuraiCrow.

Virus Alert! Saddam Virus on disk 6 of the AMOS Pro archive and probably on disk 1 also. Is that a nasty or nuisance virus?
-
I don't know. I downloaded mine from Back2Roots.org before they went bust. I still have the disk images from there. I don't know whether I should post them in the download area here or not. Maybe Sidewinder will have a suggestion. :-(
-
Well, there may or may not be a virus on disk one. I copied the disks to my pda under PalmUAE and checked them with VirusX 4.0. It did report an abnormal boot block and I went ahead and repaired it. When I tried to install AMOS from that disk, it refused to install complaining that the disk was a copy. I was able to install on the actual Amiga and I didn't get any indication of a virus from disk one like I did from disk six on my Amiga, so I'm not sure. Use caution with these disks. From now on I'm going to test stuff before going to my Amiga. BTW, from what I can tell, the Saddam virus will destroy disks.
-
Take another look at the downloads section.
-
Thanks for uploading the files to the download section, Sidewinder!
-
Thanks! I'll try these as soon as I'm sure I've eradicated my virii. I suspect some other things I've downloaded had been infected also. Being new to Amiga, I didn't realize that virii were such a problem, so I was not as careful as I should've/could've been! I bought my workbench disks, used of course; and I'm pretty sure the write-protect tab was set, but I don't know for sure. I suspect all of my other disks and am currently trying to get as up to date an anti-virus program transferred over to try and dis-infect everything else. It's a shame that Amiga Explorer doesn't have some way to check the files, if that's even possible.

Is the Back to the Roots site down? I keep receiving messages stating that I need to wait.
I have the complete professional version, on diskettes, but I am looking for the ADF for my emmulated Amiga!

Is there anyone out there that has the ADF for Amos Professional?
I have legally purchased the program, but I am looking for the ADF for my Windows XP machine.
Thanks,

Hello Sandlizard,
The AmosPro downloads are in the downloads section of this page. While logged in, look at the left side of the screen towards the bottom. The second link from the bottom is marked "downloads". Under productivity there is the AmosPro menu with the AmosPro 1.0, update to 1.12 and update from there to 2.0 . :-D
-
Sometimes it's the easy stuff that gets overlooked. I read a lot of posts, but did not check the downloads section.
TY
Sandlizard

Thanks again!
All done, AMOS Professional installed like a charm. Now I just have to get my programs and data files off of the Syquest, SCSI cartridges.
The Amiga 4000 green screens. I think this is due to CHIP ram. I'll reseat all chips today and see if that resolves the bootup.

Amiga 4000 networked over TCP/IP! I was able to transfer all of the files over to another PC and make my backups!
All of my original,old code found....gunna take some time to go through it all.
Ah, I love the 80's!

Update:
Since the migration to the new server the links are no longer red and the downloads section is no longer at the left side of the screen. See the downloads link at the top of the page while logged in. :)

For those with working real Amiga's, I often see AMOS Craft (an AMOS extension, requires AMOS: The Creator or AMOS Professional) and AMOS: The Creator listed on Ebay.

Please pardon my ignorance (I've been away from the Amos scene for 13 years!) but what does AMOS Craft do exactly?
-
Apologies for the very late reply! ;D
CRAFT has a whole bunch of useful functions, and there's also MusiCraft too.
It includes commands for storing screen data in special AMOS banks and drawing Mandelbrot's/Fractals easily in just a few commands! :)
