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.
