- After seeing so many Amos programs released that LOOK like Amos programs I
- think AMOS has got a bad name in some people`s eyes. My attitude is write
- something in Amos and tell the people it IS amos so they think "Amos? Wow!
- You can make something this good in AMOS?" Besides I hate to say it but no
- matter how may hiding tricks you use an amos program is always an amos
- program. I you use sprites or icons etc the file will have AmIc or AmSp
- near it`s begining if you view the file in a hex editor. Similarly
- compiled programs have a tag too.
