Andrew, AutoPilot is in Library 9 of AmigaVendor – AP.LHA and APDOCS.LHA. The docs are in a separate file intentionally so that the program and docs can be updated at separate times without everyone having to download the entire package each time. AutoPilot is a wonderful program, with far more features than many of the other packages for other platforms, and it is well-supported, with updates every few weeks if needed because of problems, and every few months to add nice new features even if there have been no problems. Actually, the problems are few, and are usually caused by changes in the CIS software rather than a problem in AP, which is extremely stable. If you are calling through a CIS node in England, AP should work fine for you just as it is. If you have to call through one of the other services, you may need a 'before' script to help you get online – but we have lots of English users who can help you with those. What you will get in AmigaVendor is a demo of the full AutoPilot. It has nearly everything available to you – but only for Cmail and the Amiga Forums. Once you have it working well and feel that you want to continue using it, you register it online and then AForums sends you a magic email message that turns your working demo into the full registered version that can access all forums and adds some new abilities to your demo. —Betty
