Learning AMOS - Beginners Guide Disks
These may have been uploaded before but just in case anyone fancies taking a look, here they are again... in The Zone.
I have been playing with AMOS for ages and not getting very far - I read about a Beginners guide disk that outlines real basic stuff - turns out, the disk was released by F1 - it's on the FI Licenseware CD but I thought I would upload it to the Zone in case it might be of benefit to others "mucking about" with AMOS. In the zip file you can find Versions 1, 2 and 3 of this Beginners Guide - they are just updated versions so 3 is the one to check out really although I like the menu system of 1 and 2. All disks are in DMS. F1 disk Ref's (003, 050a, 050b, 089a, 089b) |

Thanks for those, Peter.
![]() I have several original, boxed AMOS software packages, but somehow have never got around to getting started with it, so those disks could come in handy! ![]() |

Hi Mr.P - yes, same here, it's just getting the time (and energy) to be able to concentrate - I keep reading the books and dropping off (am I getting old!?)
I need a desert Island situation really to nail this... :-) |

Brill! Had a look at these and will need to spend more time going through the chapters - looks like some useful tips are included.

Thanks for the heads-up on these, and for digging them out, Peter.
I've got AMOS Pro installed, and a number of books, but have only dabbled in the language a little. Here's hoping there's enough here, and on the disks Christian at AmigaPD, highlighted a few weeks back, to finally get me up and running. |

I had a quick look in the zone for these zips and I can't find them, I have never fully understood how the zone works. Would there be any chance of you emailing them to me please? I am still flirting with Amos but I still lack the ability to actually program stuff! Thankyou! ![]() |

The Zone only keeps files for a few days, the original post is dated 2012.
I'm sure someone has a copy of them and will be along to Zone them for you though ![]() If you can't wait that long, I'd try to find the F1 Licenceware disks "003, 050a, 050b, 089a, 089b" on your favourite search engine as these are what you're looking for. |

There's a 2013 and 2014 folder in the Zone archive on the FTP but nothing prior? |

...and predictably enough the noobie in me doesn't know what a DMS file is or what to do with it.
Any help here would be amazing, thanks guys! (Are there .ADF versions of these disks at all?) I am looking forward to getting stuck into these |
