- AMOS Professional V2.00 Updater

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This disc is NOT public domain, it is part of a commercial product:
- The AMOSPro Compiler. It cannot be sold alone.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- This disc contains the latest version of AMOSPro, V2.0. AMOSPro has been
- through a major re-writing process which has modified its internal structure
- tremendously. For example, you will see that the "AMOSPro" file is now only
- twenty Kilobytes long!
-
- You can find all the documentation about this new version by selecting the
- option "Lastest News" from the Editor's "Help" menu of the newly updated
- AMOSPro.
-
- If you're updating from AMOSPro V1.00, you have missed AMOSPro V1.12, so you
- will also find in the help menu all the information about the modifications
- between AMOSPro V1.00 and V1.12.
-
-
-
- *** HOW TO UPDATE YOUR COPY OF AMOSPRO? ***
-
- * Make sure you switch off any virus checker or any resident utility
- that might interfere with the disc system.
-
- * Simply click on "AMOSPro_Update" and carefully follow all the
- instructions.
-
- Floppy disc users, remember to update only a backup of your AMOSPro System
- disc!
-
- If you have created any alternate configuration files (editor or interpreter)
- you must update them before calling the updated AMOSPro: use the option from
- the updater's main menu and simply follow the prompts.
-
-
-
- *** NO MORE MOUSE.ABK ***
-
- The AMOS.library now holds the default mouse images. It is therefore not
- necessary to have the "AMOSPro_Mouse.Abk" file within the APSystem folder.
- The second entry of the system files in the AMOSPro_Interpreter_Config file
- has also been erased.
-
- Iff you want to, you can have your own default mouse. Simply create your
- mouse bank from your old AMOSPro_Mouse.Abk and save it back into your
- APSystem folder. Then choose the Interpreter Config option from the editor
- menu and enter the name of the mouse bank into location number 2 of the
- system files: your bank will be automatically loaded and will replace the
- default mouse bank.
-
-
-
- *** NO MORE DEFAULT FONT ***
-
- The AMOS.library now computes the default window font from an 8x8 Amiga
- font. The file "AMOSPro_Default.font" is no longer necessary, and will be
- removed from your APSystem folder if you do the update on a floppy.
-
- This new system ensures that the same font is used all over AMOSPro, in
- the menus and in the windows.
-
- The name of the font to use is stated in string number 3 of the
- AMOSPro_Interpreter_Config.
-
- So the default font will be erased by the updater and AMOS.library will
- compute the default font from "Topaz 8". You can choose a new font by
- entering its name at location 3 in the Interpreter configuration program.
- For example:
-
- Xfont.font
- Topaz.Font
-
- The font must be available when AMOSPro boots. If it is not then AMOSPro
- will open Topaz.
-
-
- *** ABOUT CONFIGURATION FILES ***
-
- A few problems in V1.0 of the editor makes it impossible to modify both
- editor and interpreter configuration files without losing some of your
- setups.
-
- Interpreter configuration: the updater has kept all your system setup
- (close workbench, close editor etc.) and has reset to default all the rest
- (extension list, system files list etc.)
-
- Editor configuration. The updater has kept:
- - All the messages (editor dialogs, test-time, run-time etc.)
- - The main editor configuration (screen size, opening speed etc.)
-
- The updater was forced to reset to default:
- - The keyboard shortcuts.
- - The user menu and program to menu assignments.
-
- The updater has erased the file "Editor_LastSession".
-
- We do apologise if you have lost some data like the keyboard shortcuts. It
- is just unavoidable.
-
- The configuration file for AMOSPro V1.0 will not work under AMOSPro V1.1,
- because we have added data to it (like the default screen configuration,
- Amiga-A etc.)
-
- If you have alternate configuration files (Editor or Interpreter), you
- need to convert them to the new format, using the option in the updater's
- first page.
-
- How to proceed:
-
- - Select the option.
- - Choose either Interpreter or Editor configuration.
- - Choose the file to convert from the file selector.
- - The updater will convert the file, keeping the settings we've stated
- above and will save it back to disc.
- - Repeat the same procedure for every alternate configuration file.
-
-
