amostools - tools to work with AMOS programs
* dumpamos: extract the contents of AMOS source code and memory banks
* listamos: list AMOS source code as plain text
* unlockamos: unlock "locked" procedures in AMOS source code
Usage
=====
Extract banks attached to source code:
$ dumpamos source.amos
Extract sprites, pictures, samples from source or banks:
$ dumpamos source.amos sprites.abk pic1.abk samps.abk
Use input filenames as a prefix for the output filenames:
$ dumpamos -p source.amos
List AMOS programs:
$ listamos source.amos
List AMOS programs that use 3rd-party extensions:
$ listamos -e extensions/CRAFT.Lib-V1.00
-e extensions/MusiCRAFT.Lib-V1.00
source.amos
$ listamos -e23=extensions/Dump.Lib-V1.0
source.amos # you can load extensions in non-standard slots
List AMOS programs using the extensions configured in your own AMOS setup:
$ listamos -c myamos/AMOS1_3_Pal.Env -d myamos/AMOS_System source.amos
$ listamos -c myamos/AMOS1_3_Pal.Env -d myamos/AMOS_System source.amos
$ listamos -c myamos/s/AMOSPro_Interpreter_Config -d myamos/APSystem source.amos
Unlock AMOS programs with locked procedures:
$ unlockamos Fold.Acc *.AMOS
About Extensions
================
AMOS supports [extensions](https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/AMOS_extensions) to its core language.
AMOS provides four standard extensions (Music, Compact, Requester, Serial/IOPorts),
but many other extensions exist.
Extensions must be loaded into a "slot" to use them. There are 25
slots. When you use extension instructions, AMOS only stores the slot
number and a token table offset in your source code.
So, to list programs written using an extension, you need that exact
extension, and it needs to be loaded in the correct slot.
`listamos` has the four standard extensions built in, and for your
convenience, the `extensions/` directory contains as many extensions
as I can find.
