Status: RO TITLE AMOs News and Entertainment Resource (AmoNER) Disk Magazine VERSION This announcement is for issue number 6. COMPANY AmoNER is put together by me (Michael Cox) and Gal-on Broner. We are two AMOS Users who want to help other AMOS users learn more about AMOS. We also hope non-AMOS users will catch the fever and want to learn more. We accept all contributions and will put them on the disk as long as they aren't full of racism, sexism, etc. We want this to be something for everyone. Some of the programs on the disk are put together by groups or individuals with company sounding names. Our email addresses are: aj639@cleveland.freenet.edu (Michael Cox) ba178@cleveland.freenet.edu (Gal-on Broner) AUTHORS Again, read above to see who put the disk together. However, other people have written programs for this issue. DESCRIPTION This disk magazine is written entirely in AMOS (except for a few utilities used in the startup-sequence to setup the environment). However, the disk is bootable and you do not need AMOS to enjoy. Look for games, utilities, reviews, and programming tutorials. NEW FEATURES Nothing new, except for the new programs. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS We are not aware of any special requirements. However, the disk does attempt to boot into PAL mode so if you do not have the correct AGNUS chip, instructions are given as to how to remove this feature. We also recommend 1Mb of RAM. We are unable to test it under KS2.xx, but we feel it should work. You will need DMS to decompress the disk. DMS is available on all the major anonymous FTP sites.

All programs are documented as to their 'price.' DISTRIBUTABILITY Again, please read above. You may distribute AmoNER disks any place you like. Local bulletin boards, user group meetings, CIX, CompuServe, Portal, etc. The more places it is available, the more famous AMOS will become! Help spread the word of AMOS and AMOS Professional! OTHER Version 1.34 of AMOS (by Europress Software) was used to create this issue. All types of comments and submissions are accepted and we try to make sure all are included. If you want to be informed whenever a new issue is released, send Gal-on your email address. He will then inform you whenever a new AmoNER disk has been released.
