Hi All,
I wrote two games in Amos Pro years ago called Spot It and Never Ending Colouring Book. I have tracked them down on Aminet but I can't get them to work under UAE. I would be grateful if someone could have a go at converting them to ADF for me as I have tried everything I know.

Thanks,

I just tried to run them on my WinUAE setup with Kickstart 3.0/Workbench 3.0 and both programs say that they require "amos.library V2.00 or above". I have amos.library V1.0, so I couldn't get them to work either I'm afraid.

I tried and both work ok, here you are the amos library I use and put in Libs folder.

Both work, but you might wanna try to turn JIT off, which sometimes causes problems with older programs.
edit: amos.library v2.00 is not the latest version. Download v2.30 here: http://wtrns.fr/MKYHr6vM1cjx0Md

Thanks for the advice but I am not sure how to add the s and libs folder to the ADF and make it bootable. Where do I get these folders?

Here is the link to the ADFs : http://mir.cr/QUWQ3ING
This is how I did it :
Profile: A600, KS 2.05 A600HD Rev 37.300
WinUAE -> Floppy Drives -> Create Standard Disk -> spotit.adf
Load disk spotit.adf
Format Drive DF0: Name "spotit" NOICONS FFS QUICK
Install DF0:
MakeDir DF0:Libs DF0:S
' copy the amos.library to the ram disk, then :
copy Ram:amos.library DF0:Libs
' copy the spot it folder to ram disk, then (delete folder in ram disk when finished copy):
copy "Ram:Spot it/#?" DF0: ALL
echo spot_it > DF0:S/Startup-Sequence
Profile: A600, KS 2.05 A600HD Rev 37.300
WinUAE -> Floppy Drives -> Create Standard Disk -> necb.adf
Load disk necb.adf
Format Drive DF0: Name "necb" NOICONS FFS QUICK
Install DF0:
MakeDir DF0:Libs DF0:S
copy Ram:amos.library DF0:Libs
' copy the colouring book folder to ram disk, then (delete folder in ram disk when finished copy):
copy "Ram:Colouring Book/#?" DF0: ALL
rename "DF0:piccy squash" TO DF0:piccy_squash
rename "DF0:piccy squash.info" TO DF0:piccy_squash.info
echo piccy_squash > DF0:S/Startup-Sequence
Done.
