  (1) : Numbers 1 - 8 are under improvement (See Comments). Number 9
        is updated through pub/aminet/README.  Number 10 is still under
        development.  I already have (stored in a database) a list of
        over 15 Dealers and 25 WWW resources but that has to be first
        converted in a "readable" format.  Ideas are welcome.


  NOTES

  - I will try to upload a new version to Aminet every month or so, as long
    as this list is maintained by me.

  - Watch the next version (Dec '95/Jan '96) because it's gonna be the
    FINAL one (as long as the design is concerned).  Sometime in the new
    year, a new AMIL will appear, probably in a database format (with MUI
    being the first choice in terms of GUI design).  Until then only
    updates of AMIL contents will be released.

  - Most probably the next version of AMIL will be an official project of
    IAS.  If you haven't subscribed to IAS yet, SUBSCRIBE NOW.  The AMIGA
    really needs you !!!
         

                                  ATTENTION
                                  ---------

             THIS VERSION IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL AND INCOMPLETE
