Decided to learn my 9 year old some programming (work as a programmer my self)- and want him to learn it on Amiga. So I downloaded Amos PRO 1.0 - but I can see some other archives in the download section - for example AMOS Professional 2.0 Update. Is it supposed to be installed on top of 1.0?
Anything else I need - any patches or must-have extensions?
Regards, Bitman (Denmark)

Hi Bitman, welcome to the site.
I would recommend jumping straight-in with AMOS Pro 2.00 Disks, which I have re-uploaded here;

AMCAF is a great extension in terms of bringing a few speed improvements and replacement Commands, and TOME is excellent for anything which might involve drawing-up maps (e.g. a platform or adventure game) .... but I dont think ay are really needed if you are just helping the little-one get used to the programming concepts!
good luck with your teaching!

Hello Horace
Thank you for your quick answer. Will install 2.0 tonight.

AMOS 2, has been installed and is running. Has started writing a programmers manual for kids (in Danish) - since the available online-manuals is english only.
OT: Last night i picked up 4 X A1200 all loaded with HD's and Blizzard cards (2x1220, 2x1230), so nice.....

how did you get all those a1200's? I would be willing to buy a blizzard card if you want to sell one?

The stuff belonged to a senior citizen, who had used it for daily stuff and MIDI- from the filedates it looks like it has been used recently (in the 2000's) - somehow the stuff found it's way to a recycling station where the guy I bought it from took it from.
I've not decided yet, what to do with all those Blizzards, but I'll let you know if I want to part with one of them
