Well hello Art

I see you live not far from me ;-)
I'm in Houghton Lake. Imagine that 2
Amigans here in the great north.

Anyway its not really very hard to get
AmigaBasic to run. I have it running on
an A3000 OS3.1 and A3640 card.

All thats required is 'NoFastMem' and
a few other minor things.
Make a Dir called 'EXTRAS', put AmigaBasic
in that Dir and run it from there.
Make sure you do the assigns in your
user startup. AmigaBasic gets lost without
the assigns. Also when you quit from AmigaBasic
do it from the pull down menu, NOT the upper
left gadget or you will crash every time.
There is more but that should get you running.

Well .....if you know nothing about programing
then AmigaBasic is a good place to start.
The learning curve is easy up to a point.
After you reach that point its easier on say Blitz.
There is plenty of documentation on AmigaBasic.
Its not a bad place to start. I played with it for awhile
then moved on to Blitz.
I made this comparison before...... when learning
to read you don't start with 'War and Peace' ..
you start with 'Dick and Jane see Spot run'
