Editing STOS BASIC (section)

==Other platforms==
In 1990, [[AMOS BASIC]] was released for the [[Amiga]]. It was originally meant to shortly follow the release of ''STOS'' on the [[Atari ST]]. [[AMOS BASIC|AMOS]] was released about two years after the [[United Kingdom|UK]] release of ''STOS''. But this turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the [[Amiga]] community thanks to the extra development time. Not only did [[AMOS BASIC|AMOS]] take advantage of the extra [[Amiga]] hardware and have more commands than ''STOS'', but the style of [[BASIC programming language|BASIC]] was completely different - it had no line-numbers, and there were many [[structured programming]] constructs (at one time, the ''STOS Club Newsletter'' published a program that allowed the reader to program ''STOS'' using that style). While it was often possible to directly convert ''STOS BASIC'' programs that did not heavily rely on extensions to [[AMOS BASIC]], the reverse was not usually true.

A version for [[IBM PC compatible]]s called ''PCOS'' was once mentioned, but that never materialised. Instead, the publishers [[Mandarin Software]] renamed themselves [[Europress Software]]. One of the developers in Jawx, [[Francois Lionet]], was later to form [[Clickteam]] with [[Yves Lamoureux]] and went on to release the [[Clickteam#Products|Klik]] (click) series of games-creation tools (which were dissimilar to ''STOS'' as they use a primarily mouse-driven interface without the need for traditional code). [[Klik & Play]], [[The Games Factory]], [[Multimedia Fusion]] and [[Multimedia Fusion 2]] have been released in this series.
