An update for this right away.

Paul Townsend of AmigaOne Productions (http://www.amigaoneproductions.co.uk) has lent me his AMOS In Action book so I can copy it and bring it to the masses.

It arrived today so I'll get it copied over the next few days.

Special thanks to Paul for this trust. 8)

At 355 pages I'm not surprised!  Fabulous effort asymetrix.  It was your PDF of the original AMOS Pro manual that revived my interests and got me onto the AMOS Pro V2.10 track and beyond.  I really understand how much time this stuff takes to do properly and very much appreciate it.  Thanks again.   8)   8)   8)

PS.  Can someone get this onto the downloads page pretty please.  I get easily confused wading through these download mirror sites with online-betting and naughty ladies blocking my path at every click  ;D

thanks once again asymetrix!

Thanks all :)

I moved home a few times and got my hands on better machines to do the OCR. Anyway I cant wait when we have a Amos developer suite for users to install. That would be awesome as Amos is the ONLY programming language that just works out the box, especially people beginning in programming.

The large amount of examples really helps users understand the commands, but we need more tutorials.
XAmos has potential for any platform - nice.

Great work guys - really appreciate your efforts !
