- You should wake up and check out what people are doing with the tools
- you so heavily espouse. I've got commercial software written in AMOS.
- And yes, it's as badly behaved as all AMOS programs. Fortunately, it's
- a trivially-replaced front-end to the database I actually wanted.
- According to other posters here, commercial AMOS software has actually
- won a few awards.
