Where is the docs and faqs for Amos Pro? I admit I have not yet decompressed it yet.
Thanks.
Here (http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=catalog/other/books/books1_ind.html) is where you can order an Amos Professional manual. Unfortunately, I think this is the only way to get the information you need.

Somebody posted a link on Amiga.org to some old Public-Domain disks with Amos documentation on them at http://redump.emubase.de/lsd_search.php?col=title&q=amos (http://redump.emubase.de/lsd_search.php?col=title&q=amos)

I contacted Software Hut a few days ago, and they told me that they are out of stock.
Does anyone know where else I can purchase a copy of AMOS Professional user's guide?

Those LSD docs are a transcription of AMOS The Creator user's manual.
Has anyone come across the AMOS Professional user's manual transcribed into text file format?
No, I have searched everywhere for it, but can only find it for sale on Amazon and similar sites
AMOS Professional came with online documentation and help system. You can access it from within the AMOS editor under the help menu I believe or by pressing the "help" key on the (Amiga) keyboard. If you have the AMOS Creator manual, these help docs should be able to fill in the differences.
Yeah. When I first bought AMOS Pro sometime WAY back, I found the help system to contain the exact same info as what was in the manual anyways, which meant I hardly ever opened the manual after I found the help system.
Hmmm, I thought the Pro manual had some extra functions and examples, oh well.
Yes. The AMOS Pro manual does have exclusive stuff which is unlikely (I haven;t checked for it myself) to be in the help system, such as:
- AMOS Memory bank structures
- Copperlist info (not needed if you see my threads :) )
- Extra commands (eg. Interface commands, but I don't know if they actually work, lol)

Just an update :
The Amos professional manual is being converted to html, by me.
No ETA as yet as alot of work is involved.
Thanks Asymetrix! That will make a big difference!

Spellcoder has already got an online manual of sorts on www.amigacoding.com , not sure if what you are doing will be better or not. Certainly the one on Amiga Coding appears to lack a command index at present.
Just letting you know, I'm not trying to put you down for your work, but I'd hate to see you waste alot of time for something that's already been done.

The "manual" on AmigaCoding is just the help files from the AmosPro help system. I think Asymmetrix is doing the actual AmosPro printed manual itself.
Ahhh, in that case Asymetrix keep up the work. If you do a page a day it'll only(!) take just over a year to do. :o

thanx guys.
Yes its the full Amos Professional manual.
Progress is good, working on a few pages a day.
I should be done by end 2008 :-)
It would also be good to have alot of Amos examples uploaded, like aminet but the code viewable online.
It would be great if someone had a batch AMOS to txt converter, still looking for the AMOS-PD cd to buy.
There may be one out there somewhere, but I doubt it.
Converting AMOS files to text would require the knowledge of which extensions are required. Once that is done it should be a fairly easy process. However, if no tool currently exists it would probably take a couple of months work to write and debug such a tool. Alas, I have too much on my plate already :(

Hi Wult,
You may not have noticed, but it was actually one of the AMOS Factory members (asymetrix) who created the PDF version of the AMOS Pro manual!
We already have the PDF version (and HTML) in our downloads section, and the HTML version is up on the front page (click the left hand side picture) for constant online viewing of it! (i find this very handy at times)
thanks
