AMOS Professional V1.12 Updater Written by François Lionet Copyright © 1993 Europress Software Ltd. *** A1200 AND A4000 USERS READ THIS *** Before calling the updater, switch off any virus checker or any resident utility that might bring the workbench screen to the front while AMOSPro is on the screen. The same precaution should be taken when you use the AMOSPro Interpreter on an activated AA machine. *** THIS DISC IS PD *** Europress continues with its update policy: you have payed for the software, why pay for the updates? So this 1.1 update is Public Domain. You can copy and distribute it as long as you don't change any of the files and documentation. The content of the disc must remain intact and unchanged. It must not be sold for more than a normally priced single Public Domain disc, covering duplication and postal costs. *** THANK YOU! *** Once again we must thank you for your fantastic feed back regarding AMOSPro. Your registration cards have been a great reward to us after our year of intensive work of AMOS enhancements. As usual we have read all the letters and noted all the problems stated. This update is the result of your feedback. Please continue sending us your impressions, problems, ideas for improvements etc. This will help us keep making the product better. You will see that this version includes much more than a simple bug-correction. We have been working hard to improve crucial things such as the file selector, the AMOS to Workbench interface and much more. We would like to spread as many copies of this updater disc as possible to ensure everyone gets the latest version of AMOSPro. *** HOW TO UPDATE YOUR COPY OF AMOSPRO? *** * Make sure you switched off any virus checker or any resident utility that might bring the workbench screen to the front. * Simply click on "AMOSPro_Update" and carefully follow all the instructions. Floppy disc users, remember to update only a backup of your AMOSPro System disc! If you have created any alternate configuration file (editor or interpreter) you must update it before calling the updated AMOSPro: use the option from the updater's main menu, and simply follow the prompts. You can find all the documentation about this new version by selecting the option "Lastest News" from the Editor's "Help" menu of the newly updated AMOSPro! *** ABOUT CONFIGURATION FILES *** A few problems in V1.0 of the editor makes it impossible to modify both editor and interpreter configuration files without losing some of your setups. Interpreter configuration: the updater has kept all your system setup (close workbench, close editor etc.) and has reset to default all the rest (extension list, system files list etc.) Editor configuration. The updater has kept: - All the messages (editor dialogs, test-time, run-time etc.) - The main editor configuration (screen size, opening speed etc.) The updater was forced to reset to default: - The keyboard shortcuts. - The user menu and program to menu assignments. The updater has erased the file "Editor_LastSession". We do apologise if you have lost some data like the keyboard shortcuts. It is just unavoidable. The configuration file for AMOSPro V1.0 will not work under AMOSPro V1.1, because we have added data to it (like the default screen configuration, Amiga-A etc.) If you have alternate configuration files (Editor or Interpreter), you need to convert them to the new format, using the option in the updater's first page. How to proceed: - Select the option. - Choose either Interpreter or Editor configuration. - Choose the file to convert from the file selector. - The updater will convert the file, keeping the settings we've stated above and will save it back to disc. - Repeat the same procedure for every alternate configuration file. *** LIST OF THE MODIFIED FILES *** For your information, the updater will do the following changes on your discs: Files modified: AMOSPro_System:AMOSPro AMOSPro_System:Interpreter_Config.AMOS AMOSPro_System:Editor_Config.AMOS AMOSPro_System:Install.AMOS AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Compact.Lib AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Request.Lib AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Music.Lib AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_IO_Ports.Lib AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Editor_Config AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Editor_Resource.Abk AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Default_Resource.Abk AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Monitor_Resource.Abk AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Editor AMOSPro_System:APSystem/AMOSPro_Monitor AMOSPro_System:S/AMOSPro_Interpreter_Config AMOSPro_System:Libs/amos.library AMOSPro_Accessories:AMOSPro_Help/AMOSPro_Help.AMOS AMOSPro_Accessories:Disc_Manager.AMOS AMOSPro_Accessories:Object_Editor.AMOS AMOSPro_Accessories:Resource_Bank_Maker.AMOS AMOSPro_Accessories:System_Iffs/Default_Resource.IFF AMOSPro_Accessories:System_Iffs/AMOSPro.IFF AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/AMOSPro_System_Equates AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/Make_Equates.AMOS AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/Equates.Doc AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/AMOSPro_System_Equates AMOSPro_Productivity2:Procedures/System/AMOS_Workbench_Demo.AMOS AMOSPro_Examples:Examples/H-0/Help_9.AMOS AMOSPro_Examples:Examples/H-4/Help_46.AMOS AMOSPro_Examples:Examples/H-6/Help_63.AMOS AMOSPro_Tutorial:Tutorials/Multi_Rainbows.AMOS Files moved: ReTokenise.AMOS moved from AMOSPro_System: to AMOSPro_Tutorial: Extra_Configs folder moved from AMOSPro_System: to AMOSPro_Tutorial: Files added: AMOSPro_System:c/Assign AMOSPro_System:Devs/Keymaps/Usa1 AMOSPro_System:Devs/ramdrive.device AMOSPro_System:l/ram-handler AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/Make_Equates.AMOS AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/Equates.Doc AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/AMOSPro_System_Equates AMOSPro_Productivity1:Editor_Commands.Doc AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/Editor_Commands.Doc AMOSPro_Productivity1:Equates/Editor_Commands.AMOS AMOSPro_Productivity1:Extra_Configs/AMOSPro_Interpreter_Config AMOSPro_Productivity2:Extensions/APCmp AMOSPro_Productivity2:Extensions/Compiler.Lib AMOSPro_Productivity2:Extensions/3d.Lib AMOSPro_Accessories:AMOSPro_Help/LastNews_V1_10.Map AMOSPro_Accessories:AMOSPro_Help/LastNews_V1_10.Txt File deleted: AMOSPro_System/Devs/Keymaps/Usa2 File renamed: AMOSPro_Productivity1:Extra_Configs/Editor_Config.Backup to ... ...
