Dear Friends:

I love using amospro on my amiga 1200.
I have a question:
What are some good add-ons for amospro ?
What other programs or other apps can be used to maximize amospro ?
What else can I use in combination with amospro ?
Thank you !!!

Do you have the AMCAF extension installed?  That's always a good one to have.

I guess it depends what you're doing.

This is what I have installed: -

DevPac and MonAm - Not often paired with AMOS development, but AMOS and MonAm together can be quite handy for hacking around in other apps.
Brilliance 2.0 - The very best pixel editor for the Amiga.
CygnusED 3.5 - Nice, fast text editor.
Commodore Native Developers Kit for OS3.1 - Essential reading, if nothing else.
DevPac 4.12 (CU Amiga magazine coverdisk edition). Best file manager ever.
SnoopDOS 3.0 - Excellent util for debugging non-working software / missing libraries.
Enforcer - Pings up on illegal memory accesses and catches them, preventing potential Guru's. Handy if you're poking around with Assembly.

Grab a hardware reference manual as well. Whether you want to get that low-level or not, reading about screens, bitmaps and sprites should at least give you a clue as to how some of the more basic effects are created. Stuff like shadows and transparency.

I agree with HonestFlames and SamuraiCrow. But I'll add the ADB Extension24 extension too! (first public version available soon)

Forgetting about plugging my own extension, AMCAF is definately a must. Chris has written many cool and useful commands in that extension.
