>From ENGLAND!

I just talked to Aaron Fothergill of Shadow Software/The Amos Club and found
out some INTERESTING things!  :)

There has been rumor going around that the TURBO extention will have
commands like those in TOME, it will NOT!
Manuel DID make a set of TOME like commands for TURBO but it infringed on
Aaron's COPYRIGHT so they had a little talk at the OZ convention and
everything was straightend out.

And sorry to Amos PRO users, but Aaron and most other british developers
WILL -* NOT *- do ANY extentions for PRO.

Francois Lionet has been looking for a programmer to do Amos AGA, but noone
wants to do it cuz there's NO MONEY in it for them.
So it SOUNDS like Francois WON'T do Amos AGA.

BUT!!

The AGA EXTENTION for AMOS CREATOR should be DONE BY X-MAS, and there should
be a DEMO of it on the Nets soon!

The AGA EXTENTION allows for UNLIMITED numbers of screens, HAM8 and 256
colors AND ALLMOST UNLIMITED numbers of 256 COLOR SPRITES!
BOBS be GONE!  SPRITES will RULE!

TOME 4.5 will allow ALLMOST UNLIMITED numbers of TILES using a WORD-PER-TILE
MAP system for the SERIOUS Amos Programmer!

AND!

Aaron Fothergill's KILLER game JETSTRIKE *should* be released in CANADA and
the U.K. on the *25th* of Oct, THIS MONTH!
