Eagle 250 Owner's Manual, Revision 01
Chapter 6 - Where to Now?
Your dealer, and the documentation he or she gives you, is your best source for information on your
computer and how to get the most out of it. Your dealer knows your application and how it fits into the
daily routine of your business. If you have questions about exactly what your computer can do for you,
and how to make it happen, ask your dealer.
But, lots more information is also available from Alpha Micro. Our World Wide Web site,
www.amos-online.com, offers both technical and marketing literature in the industry-standard Adobe
Acrobat file format. You can find current revisions of most of our documentation, including all new
releases, there. You can print or download any document at no charge. You can also order printed copies
of Alpha Micro documentation through your dealer, or, if you’re out of contact with your dealer, directly
from Alpha Micro by calling 800/289-2574.
These free documentation files are also distributed to our dealers regularly on CD-ROM. You may
be able to get these document files directly from your dealer.
These documents will be of particular interest to many users:
•
AMOS System Commands Reference Manual, DSO-00043-00. Contains a reference sheet on each
command available from AMOS command level.
•
AMOS System Operator’s Guide, DSO-00001-00. Discusses many procedures important to the
person responsible for the daily operation of the computer, such as backing up, adding new disk
drives, and many more.
•
AMOS System Operator’s Guide to the System Initialization Command File, DSO-00002-00. The
system initialization command file defines the computer’s hardware and software configuration.

•
The AlphaVUE User’s Manual, DSO-00023-00, and the AlphaXED User’s Manual, DSO-00106-

text files, including command files and program source files.
•
The AMOS Command File User’s Manual, DSO-00071-00, describes how to create command
files. A command file contains a series of commands and data input; using them can greatly
reduce the effort needed for repetitive tasks, such as daily backups.

00045-00, or the AlphaBASIC User’s Guide, DSS-10073-00. All versions of AMOS include the
AlphaBASIC programming language; most new versions also include the more powerful
