Here's a letter sent to Steve from Duncan Moran. Thanx for this Duncan - Andy G. @3 Linda Cottage Ilmington Road Blackwell Shipston on Stour Warwickshire CV36 4PG @4 Dear Steve, I have just seen the cover disc from Amiga Shopper with the Amoszine thingy. This included a list of AMOS bugs. It was a very short list. Perhaps it had been cut down for this special edition! Someone mentioned.... ON EVERY command clashing with a WAIT command. This can be got around by calling a SLEEP procedure rather than the WAIT command - @1 ' MAIN PROGRAMME Every 50 Proc SOMETHINGOROTHER blah: blah: blah SLEEP @1[@155] blah: blah: blah End Procedure SLEEP [DELAY] TEMP = TIMER While TIMER < TEMP+DELAY ' Just hang around till times up ' or check for a mouse click or something Wend End Proc @4 This allows the Every N call to do its thing and get back - as long as it is not away too long....BUT...I use to get this problem on a 1MB A500 but I have just tried it on a 4MB A1200 the Every command worked perfectly. It was only a trivial test and the result may have been different in a full programme with a couple of AMAL thingies running with it... @4Another article mentioned problems with fonts and rightly suggested a routine to check the names of fonts to make sure all machines are using the same one. This problem seems to vary from machine to machine which may suggest that it is not all AMOSss's fault. Most other languages use the fonts name rather than numbering them (? I think ?). I have found the A500 and A1200 to be compatible and the A600 to cause the most problems. Sometimes even the Topaz ROM FONTS (8 & 9) have been reversed. However if you SET FONT 0 (zero) this will get you back to TOPAZ 8 where ever you are coming from. I'm afraid I have not seen any other issues of AMOSzine and so do not know if this stuff has already been covered....is it just me.. despite your claims of having an improved "engine" I find it much easier to load the text files into Protext to read them rather than all that button clicking business... @1 Regards, Duncan Moran
