"I Want To Do Text Processing"
If you want to use your computer to prepare documents, there are several books you should look at:
The
AlphaVUE User's Manual
for information on the AlphaVUE screen-oriented text editor; the
TXTFMT User's Manual
for information on the TXTFMT text formatting program; and the
AlphaVUE/TXTFMT Training Guide
, a tutorial on document preparation for the computer novice.
Although AlphaVUE and TXTFMT are the text processing programs included with the standard
AMOS software, you may want to investigate the other word processing packages your VAR
has available for your computer, such as AlphaWRITE.
"I Want To Write Computer Programs"
If you have programmed in BASIC before, and want to learn how to use the AlphaBASIC programming
language, refer to the
AlphaBASIC User's Manual
. You may also want to see the
AlphaBASIC PLUS
User's Manual
for information on the enhanced AlphaBASIC PLUS programming language.
If you are an experienced assembly language programmer who wants to write machine language
programs for your Alpha Micro computer, we recommend you read these books:
• Alpha Micro Instruction Set
, which contains information on the assembly language instruction
set used by the Alpha Micro computers.
• AMOS Assembly Language Programmer's Manual

linkage editor, object file librarian, and global cross reference program used by the assembly
language programmer.
• AMOS Monitor Calls

system available to the assembly language programmer.
• AlphaFIX User's Manual
