COMPANY AmoNER is put together by me (Michael Cox) and Gal-on Broner. We are just 2 crazy individulas who want to be famous! Some of the programs on the disk are put together by groups or individuals with company sounding names. On this disk, PrOjEcT:NOISE has contributed along with Barbarian Minds. 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, the following people have actually written programs for this issue: Michael Cox, Gal-on Broner, Eric Askilsrud 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. On this issue, and as on the previous issues and future issues, the disk contains games, a tutorial, and a couple of useful utilities. One utility is a MED module player which also goes along with one tutorial and the other is a program that will attempt to pick winners of American Football (NFL) games. One of the games also has a tutorial from the author explaining how the program works. NEW FEATURES New to this issue is the user interface. Gal-on has made it look more professional and added a neat 'arcade' feature. 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 the authors become! 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.
