Updating AMOS Pro to Version 2.x

If you're an AMOS Professional user you'll need to upgrade immediately to version 2.x using the updater utility on the AMOS Professional Updater disk. The new version is the latest available, this is why we're labelling it with a ".x" instead of .1, .2 etc.

Easy AMOS and AMOS users should proceed directly to the Compiler installation section in Chapter 3.

AMOS Professional version 2.x is a major enhancement over the original AMOS Professional package. It integrates the AMOS Pro Compiler with the Editor, adds many additional features and fixes a number of problems reported in earlier versions.

How to Update

• Gather together working copies of your six AMOS Professional disks. Don't use the original masters - these should be kept in a safe place, just in case the update fails! The updater will also update an AMOS Professional stored on a hard disk.
• Insert the AMOS Professional Updater disk into the internal drive and boot up your Amiga. If you have a hard disk then boot your system first and then insert the updater disk.
• When the Workbench screen appears double click on the "AMOSPro_Update" disk icon to display its contents to the screen.
• You can now either:
  1. Double click on the "About_AMOS_Pro" icon for more information about the updating process and the files which are affected by the update. To view more of the text file click to the bottom of the screen. Stopping the display from scrolling is done by clicking with the right mouse button. To quit the text reader simply press the Escape key.
  2. Click twice on the "AMOS_Pro_Update" icon to install AMOS Pro 2. The updater will load and run, Just follow the on-screen prompts, inserting the various system disks as and when they are requested for.
• If the update fails you'll need to restart the update process on new disks.
• Contact Europress Software if the procedure completely fails - this will probably be due to one of the AMOS Pro master discs or the Updater disc being corrupted.
