AM-6060 Computer Owner's Manual, Rev. 00

Chapter 4 - Where Do I

Go From Here?

Your Alpha Micro computer is extremely versatile—it can do so many different things that, at this point,

you might be somewhat undecided as to where to start.

Your next step is to learn something about the software you can run on your computer. This chapter deals

with some of the questions you may be asking:

•

What software is available for Alpha Micro computers?

•

What Alpha Micro documents should I read next?

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS SOFTWARE

This section will give you an idea of some of the software available for your computer.

The Operating System, AMOS

AMOS, the Alpha Micro Operating System, supervises all of the programs that run on your computer.

Regular updates to the AMOS operating system and its accompanying software are available from your

VAR. There are different revision levels of AMOS; to use the AM-6060 you need AMOS 2.3A or later.

Networking

The networking software is included with AMOS. There are two different networking software packages:

•

AlphaTCP allows your system to transfer files, exchange information, and share resources

between different computers on the Internet. This package also provides TELNET services and

network printer services. AlphaTCP allows network-connected users to function as if they had a

dedicated terminal connected to the AM-6060.

•

AlphaNET is our original, peer-to-peer network. It lets you transfer files, exchange information,

and share resources between different Alpha Micro computers. It is not as powerful as

AlphaTCP, and in most cases you won’t need to use it with the AM-6060.
