Editing AMosaic (section)

== Amiga-only features ==
At the time of its launch, AMosaic offered several features beyond the capabilities of Mosaic, thanks to the unique capabilities of the [[AmigaOS]] and existing support libraries.

The [[Magic User Interface]] (MUI) system used to construct the [[user interface]] enabled user full user-customization of fonts, colors, and background patterns.<ref name="wwwunleashed" /><ref>{{citation |url=http://www.mfischer.com/legacy/amosaic-paper/intro.html |title=Introduction |first=Michael |last=Fischer |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309000828/http://www.mfischer.com/legacy/amosaic-paper/intro.html |archive-date=9 March 2012 |access-date=2 April 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

AMosaic makes use of AmigaOS [[Amiga support and maintenance software#Data/file types|Datatypes]] for its external and inline image decoding,<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.mfischer.com/legacy/amosaic-paper/datatypes.html |title=The AmigaOS Datatypes System |first=Michael |last=Fischer |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309000908/http://www.mfischer.com/legacy/amosaic-paper/datatypes.html |archive-date=9 March 2012 |access-date=2 April 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> making it simple for users to extend the list of supported image types by installing the appropriate operating system plugin.

An [[ARexx]] inter-application communication interface was built into AMosaic,<ref name="wwwunleashed" /><ref>{{citation |url=http://www.mfischer.com/legacy/amosaic-paper/rexx.html |title=The Rexx Interface in Amiga Mosaic |first=Michael |last=Fischer |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309000917/http://www.mfischer.com/legacy/amosaic-paper/rexx.html |archive-date=9 March 2012 |access-date=2 April 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> allowing simple scripting and transferring of data between AMosaic and other software. Using ARexx, users can write external scripts to ask AMosaic to retrieve a page and return it in [[ASCII]] format, or AMosaic can execute a script calling an external bookmark tracking program.

Uses the [[Amiga#Networking|networking software]] DNet, AmiTCP 3.0b2, or AS225r2.
