^5We would like to dedicate this issue of TOTALLY AMOS to the memory of

^2                       K E V I N     H A L L 

^5   Kevin  wrote  the  AMOS  columns  in  JAM  and  the  new Amigaware
^5magazine,  and  was  the  mainstay  of  the CIX Amos conference.  His
^5presence on the Amos scene will be greatly missed.

^5  Hello and welcome to Issue 3 of T O T A L L Y   A M O S !

^1 Our  subscriber  list is increasing weekly, hopefully this will mean
^1that more people will send in things to include in future issues.

^1 This  issue contains programs from several readers, unfortunately, a
^1lot  of  submissions were just too long to put them all in one issue,
^1so they have been held in reserve for the future.

^1 We  would  really  love  to  hear  from you ALL.  Whether you have a
^1suggestion  on the content of TA, its presentation, etc.  Does anyone
^1own  some  Amos PD or Licenseware that they would like to review?  It
^1does  not  matter  if  it  has  already been reviewed, you may have a
^1different  viewpoint.   Do  you  have  a  list  of  your top ten AMOS
^1programs?

^2 How  do  you  feel  about Piracy?  The debate was started in Issue 2
^2where Sandra Sharkey puts forward her views on the subject as regards
^2Licensed Software, we add our thoughts, how about you? As we have had
^2no feedback, can we assume that everyone thinks that piracy is a good
^2thing?

^1 Have  you  found  out  any interesting tips to use when programming?
^1Don't  assume  that it's something that everyone else will know, send
^1it in!

^1 We  would  really  love  some  artwork  for  readers to use in their
^1programs.  Sprites/bobs, tiles for TOME etc.

^4 Musically  we  are searching for jingles rather than long pieces, ie
^4the short tunes you get on `Game Over', end of level, finding a bonus
^4item etc.

^2 Ben  Ashley  is  starting  up  a section called `Totally Cheating!!'
^2where he will put in hints, tips and cheats for AMOS games.  (Do Amos
^2programmers  really  allow  the users of their games to CHEAT!!) Send
^2any hints to Ben, address given in Totally Cheating in the Other Info
^2section.

^1 Totally  Useless  continues,  any  entries?   Have you done anything
^1really   silly   while  programming?   Any  entry  can  be  published
^1anonymously if you do not want everyone to know what you did!  Do you
^1have any useless pieces of information to share with other readers?

^6 The competitions have not been as well supported as we had hoped, do
^6you  all have the Compiler and Amos 3-D?  Go on it only costs a stamp
^6to  enter!   You  dont even need to answer any questions to enter the
^6Children's Competition!  You only have to nominate a child to win the
^6prize!

^2 Some of the letters we have received from readers are published in a
^2section of their own, let's try to make this section even larger next
^2time!

^1 Suggestions  from  readers  have  resulted in a couple of changes to
^1this  issue  of  TA.   The  magazine  can  now  be controlled via the
^1keyboard as well as by mouse, and there is a guide to the controls if
^1you  press  the  HELP  key,  this  is  available from any part of the
^1magazine!

^6 From  recent  letters,  it  has  come to light that there were a few
^6things  wrong with the last couple of issues of TA.  We apologise for
^6these, why didn't anyone tell us?!

^71.   Issue  1.   The  bubbles  program  by  Dicon Peeke seems to have
^7vanished  from  the  disk!   We  contacted  Dicon  and he has sent us
^7another copy which is on this disk.

^72.  The What's Up Doc (the info file) was left off Issue 2, which has
^7lead to some confusion as the full instructions for the Sample player
^7were  in  it.  My instructions in the Editorial forgot to say that it
^7 would only appear if called from the main menu screen.

^73.   There  was a bug in the graphics section of TA2, this meant that
^7if you went to view the clipart, you couldn't click on the buttons on
^7returning to TA.  This only affected the disks posted on January 7th,
^7we  are  sorry  for any  inconvenience  caused, there's nothing wrong
^7with  your  Amiga,  and  the  magazine will  function OK if you avoid
^7loading the graphic files.

^2 We hope that you will enjoy Totally Amos, we need your support to
^2make this idea work!

^3                     Keep AMOSing!  Len & Anne.

^7**BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!**
