There is a language coming out for the PC which has
the same commands as AMOS, Garfield can give you
the name and address, you need a 32 bit pc operating
system (Win 95), I have 3.1 which won't allow me to
use it. yes.. in the real wordl, the AMIGA is dead! I am
starting to program on the pc, using Better basic, or
Quick Basic 4.5 at first. My AMIGA coding days have
ended, into gateway 2000 or amiga international actualy
do something, and it looks like they are standing still....
