- YES, use the Default Palette command to set all colors to say
- black or grey like this:
-
- Default Palette $0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
-
- which will prevent the orange (signal-flare) Amos start-up!!

- WHY? If you have compiled your AMOS program then you do not
- need any drawers on your distributable disk EXCEPT the S, LIBS
- and FONTS drawers.
-
- LIBS drawer needs the mathtrans.library and diskfont.library. As
- long as you compile with the include AMOS library you do not
- need the AMOS.library on your distribution-disk.
-
- FONTS does not need ANYTHING unless you are NOT using the
- standard ROM fonts, in that case you will need to place the fonts
- required by your program in this FONTS drawer on your
- distribution-disk.
- Actually, if you ARE using the ROM fonts I do not think you even
- need to include the FONTS drawer at all.
-
- S drawer, of course, needs your Startup-Sequence.
-
-
- There is NO need to include an AMOS_System drawer, at least as
- far as I know. I have NEVER included it on a distribution-disk.

- Why do you need to change your actual AMOS program? No one
- will see this but you anyway.

- See Above!!

-
- Well, I hope this has been of some help, perhaps I do not fully
- understand what you are trying to do?
-
- Are you actually compiling you AMOS programs for stand-alone
- distribution or are you trying to use RAMOS for the distribution?
