   Welcome to yet another round of bug bashing with Neil wright.


   Speccy Weccy!
   -------------

   Q.  How can I transfer my old Spectrum BASIC listings into AMOS? - James
       Stewart, Durham

   A.  You can't.  Spectrum BASIC and AMOS BASIC are virtually
       uncompatible.  Theoretically you could try to convert every Spectrum
       command into a corresponding AMOS one.  In practice this would take
       an age.


   PD Worries
   ----------

   Q.  I notice that you distribute Public Domain software.  Are the AMOS
       programs compiled or can I list them? - Peter Irvine, Scotland

   A.  ALL programs disks contain uncompiled AMOS code, Peter.  They are
       excellent sources of information for beginners. [well you would say
       that - Ed]


   Price War
   ---------

   Q.  I own Easy AMOS and recently I saw in the shops (Virgin Megastore)
       that both AMOS and AMOS Professional were being sold for £49.99.
       Which is best? - Gordon Eglinton, Devon

   A.  I'm a bit shocked to hear that, Gordon.  Actually AMOS should be
       priced around £29.99 now.  Oh, AMOS Professional is far superior.  I
       used it to create this magazine interface after all.


   Multi-tasking
   -------------

   Q.  I know that you can toggle AMOS/Workbench using Amiga & A, but can
       you drag AMOS programs down like true Workbench programs?  If so,
       how? - Everybody

   A.  I'm afraid you can't.  Well, not at the minute anyway.
       Unfortunately you will have to wait until Europress release the AMOS
       intuition extension; maybe then we can.

   We are just waiting to answer any questions that you have.  Does Amos
   just drive you wild, has the compiler gone crazy, is Amos 3D really the
   compiler in disguise? (If you think the last ones true then you've
   obviously got the wrong program!) Send us your problems or any
   questions you have regarding Amos, Amos Pro,The Compiler, Amos 3D, Tome,
   C-Text, Sprite-X, Curs-Ed or FontX and we will try our best to answer
   them.  Even if we can't, we'll give it a really good try. Send them to
   the following address:
