I think Steven Hill would disagree

[SamuraiCrow]

There was probably some politics involved that nobody will admit to.  There almost always is.

You think I'm wound up now?  Look at what Bloodline posted on http://www.amiga.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=48715&forum=9!

i dont understand this cryptic comment at all because it comes with no explanation as to what you are referring. (and i know little of and care very little about the history of the development)

However, regardless of any issues/problems that arose with third parties, over manuals/ guides / whatever, Francois was still -the- man behind AMOS, and Europress still needed justification to pay him for his development.

If they didnt see potential profit, they wouldnt be able to pay anyone for a future AGA version, and everyone involved would require other projects to work on in order to make money, ergo end of AMOS development.

Like it or not, it's how capitalism works.

Stephen Hill was one of the co-writers (technical author) for the AMOSPro manual, wrote 'Amiga Game Maker's Manual' and I think also wrote (or co-wrote?) the inline help of AMOS.

But I don't have a clue what overclocked means with his statement. Just /ignore and don't feed.
Let's continue talking about AMOS for AmiKit and about the interview.

If you dont know who Steven Hill is then you should remove those stars and demote yourself to Easy AMOS Beta V0.0.5

thanks for the comment.

Despite the assumption, I am aware Stephen Hill is a credited author of the AP Manual and one of the guidebooks as Spellcoder has mentioned.  (I didnt know about the inline help bit however)

Perhaps you not notice the bit in my post where i referred to third parties; authors of guides / manuals etc... who else did you think i was talking about there? The AP Manual sat in front of me also serves as some help in this matter.

regardless of any issues/problems that arose with third parties, over manuals/ guides / whatever

Nonetheless, it still doesnt explain your comment. if you read what i said, i didnt say that I didnt know to whom you were referring (i thought my post made it plainly obvious that I did, but hey) but rather to what you were referring.

I assumed there must have been some legal issue or some such you were talking about, but decided not to actually state, thus the first part of the above quote.


Edit: for self-control
