Wait, what? Lionet kicked Frédérik off the group? That's a bit of a dick move.

I've not really had much contact with him back in the day, but lately he seemed to be a nice older dude with a passion for his original creation who had embarked on a journey to update it to a Javascript platform, all of which was quite charming. (Not that I personally would buy AMOS-for-PC as the Amiga is part of the whole AMOS coding deal in my eyes, but I guess others might).

Seems he's all about the money and is just seeing euro-signs everywhere now. Which is a great shame.

In the meantime, one other member of the AmosFactory team and I am shifting our priorities to the Enhanced E Compiler based on ECX sources and largely compatible with the original AmigaE. Hopfully things will cool off on the Amos front.
Yep, this is not a good thing at all. We shall see what happens, I guess.

François is bipolar. He may just be on a manic high right now. Let's see if he cools off after a while.

This is terrible someone finally does AGA as everyone wanted in 2019 and now this.

Retro1234 16 January 2020 15:06

Someone please PM the files

Update: Freddix (Frédéric) will rerelease his code as a closed source extension to an older version of AmosPro.

François is no longer on the AmosPro coders group on FB and is therefore not an admin there either.

Freddix' blocking on the group was an accident by another admin and NOT the work of François. The kicking out was, however Freddix has been readmitted now that François is no longer an admin.

Retro1234 17 January 2020 15:55

Yeah I was going to say no one could stop him releasing a Extension or a Patch for the main executable.

IridiumFX 17 January 2020 21:38

To put things in context, wasn't the source made public domain? I thought Francois was not even the owner anymore, right ? I remember reading of a guy, Pietro Ghizzoni, to be the legal owner to the original source code. So, how can Francois slap a GPL3, retroactively, on something he should not own?
Please feel free to correct any point I may have gotten wrong or inaccurate

You might be right. François posted something to that effect this morning on one of his feeds. It may be under the license Pietro put on it when he released the AmosPro source and the rest is under ClickTeam's license.

Looks like François Lionet has officially released Amos source and this project is back on

Indeed! François stated something to that effect on Facebook as well!

It contained some passive-aggressive insults against Freddix, so no.

Retro1234 01 May 2020 23:58

Ok thanks great news anyway.

Pyromania 02 May 2020 02:16

What’s the best implementation of AMOS Professional AGA?

Samurai_Crow 02 May 2020 02:28

@Pyromania

Freddix' version is the only one I know of for AGA.

kriz 03 May 2020 01:52

So for all wanting the link to the new AGA version: https://github.com/AmiDARK/Amos-Prof...l-AGA-Releases Info: http://amos-professional-aga.frederic-cordier.fr/ Some videos: http://amos-professional-aga.frederi...ier.fr/?videos

I have to say I'm not a big fan of keeping the sources of AMOS Pro AGA closed. I didn't witness all the FB drama, but that's just even more reason to put any new stuff under a copyleft license, no?

The AGA version will be under the relevant licence. AFAIK, it will also be open source, but simply may just be periodically uploaded.

supercruiser 06 May 2020 11:32

Installation?
 
Hi.

Just wondering in terms of install?

Overwrite existing AMOS folder?

Or copy relevant S, Devs etc??

Get error running from source folder...

Any help appreciated.
