Please see the end of ^5this article for the disk numbers. ^4 Also, thanks to an Easy Amos user, Brian Hemmings who phoned us with ^4a problem.... ^2 `I've finished my first program, how do I make a runnable copy of ^2it?' ^4 In fact there is no RAMOS for Easy Amos, but after a phone call to ^4Richard Vanner at Europress, we now are able to put an Easy Ramos ^4disk into the PD Library - APD400. This is an adapted version of ^4Amos 1.34's Ramos. ^5 If you name your program file Autoexec.Amos then you will not need ^5to change the start up sequence of the Ramos disk, if you name your ^5program anything else, then the startup sequence will need to be ^5altered accordingly. ^4 One other thing which you will have to do.... ^2 Open a default screen at the start of your program, the following ^2would be OK.... ^6Screen Open 0,320,200,16,lores:Curs Off:Flash Off:Cls 0 ^4 The Easy Amos compatible disks to date are:- ^5 When there is room on the original disk, an Easy Amos version of the ^5program appears as a file with the prefix EASY_ eg easy_demo.amos. ^5This is the version to load into E.A. The original version will run ^5independantly as before. ^2 APD 2 ^4Treasure Search -Educational Mapping game ^2 APD 19 ^4Microman's Music Sensitive Balls Demo - Watch the balls ^4bounce to the sound of 15 samples ^2 APD 137 ^4Tile Trial- Sliding tile puzzle by Dominic Ramsey ^4(Shareware) ^2 APD 200 ^4Dungeon Master Shell by Alan Webb. ^2 APD 400 ^4Easy Ramos.
