This programme was written on an A500 with 1Meg and a hard drive. It works
on my machine with no known bugs. If you are running it on some other
system and you have problems please let me know. This file details known
problems on some other systems together with possible fixes. It also
contains some general information about running AMOS programmes.
This programme was programmed by Andrew Kreibich with AMOSv1.35
(C) 1990 Mandarin/Jawx (Europress) and compiled with the AMOS compiler.
It should run on any amiga including 1200.
Note: to quit at any time (without using the menu) press Ctrl-C.
to toggle workbench use left Amiga-A (Amiga N and M will not work)
NOTE OLD A1000 USERS.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I have heard a number of reports that AMOS has problems with old A1000s.
If the programme gurus, locks up your machine, loses the mouse pointer
or anything else unusual then try it on another machine. I have no way
of fixing it to work on old A1000s.
IMPORTANT!!!
This programme assumes that the system font is topaz 8.
If any of the text is too big for the buttons this is because
you have changed the system font.
If this causes you problems then I can send you a version which
will set the font for you. (Only available when you register, please
let me know if you want it)
MOUSE PROBLEMS?
Some users have reported a disappearing mouse pointer when running
DMouse at the same time. If this happens to you and you are running
Dmouse or any other sort of fancy mouse accessory then turn it off and
try again.
If you are running on a faster system (eg you are lucky enough to afford
an accelerator card) then you might have a few problems with timing. This
could manifest itself by refusing to accept the mouse click until you
have hit it a few times. Annoying, I know, but I have tried to prevent
this with carefully structured loops etc. but unfortunately I have no
way of testing it! (as I said above it works fine on my machine). I have
two solutions to this.
1. turn off the accelerator (if possible)
2. register and persaude a few hundred others to do likewise so
that I can afford an accelerator and test it out myself!
Now read the doc. file!
