Foreword

Welcome to the AMOS Pro Compiler!

In this box you will find a magic utility that will enhance the overall speed of your programs by up to two or three times!

Not only will this utility make your programs run like the wind, it will also entirely recode them so that it is virtually impossible to see the original AMOS source code. You can now turn your programming creations into Public Domain. Shareware or even Commercial software products.

We have also crammed a bunch of examples on to the disc, including a game, utilities and demos. These demonstrate the benefits of compiling your AMOS programs. Just run them through your Editor first, then compile them and see the difference in speed! Then have fun exploring the code: we have inserted as many comments as possible.

AMOS Pro users will also be pleased to read that this box also includes a new version of AMOS Pro (v2.0). It offers major enhancements, so check out the extra on-line help information in 2.0 for full details of what's new.

Both AMOS Pro and the Compiler have had a considerable rewrite. The resulting software is now much easier for us to modify and amend. The obvious advantage is for you, the user. AMOS Pro and its Compiler can now evolve at a faster rate. You may see in the future new instructions, new modes and other add-ons. AMOS Pro is a fast moving product and we want to have it moving even faster, at the speed of our beloved machine, the Amiga!

Now insert the AMOS Pro Compiler disc into your drive, fasten your seat belts, and get ready for speed!

About this manual

The AMOS Pro Compiler was not part of the original package and thus not part of the AMOS Professional Manual. I have transcribed and included it as nowadays you download them together and I thought the compiler manual should be included.
