Welcome to AMOS TOME Series IV !
TOME IV is the most powerful map editing system on any computer anywhere (TOME Series 3 is the second most powerful).
TOME is used to create huge game maps, which you can then use in your AMOS programs to give you huge background areas without using up much memory. TOME works with TILES, which are a fixed size, which are put together in a MAP. Each tile can be used as many times as you want in a map, and only 1 byte is used for every repeat of a tile. So you can get a 960 screen map in only 64K !
About 4 years of work has now gone into the TOME project since it was first seriously developed
on the Atari ST. Thanks to users not pirating the software, we have been able to continuously
upgrade TOME, with new routines that we have thought of, and ones that users requested. We
have also been able to provide upgrades for users of older versions. As a TOME User, the only
thing we ask of you is that you don't copy the software or manuals for anyone else.
You should make a backup for your own use, but that's all !
AMOS TOME Series IV is very easy to install on your AMOS System.
