Ami Pro Internet Resources

Ami Pro User Resources on the Net

Here's a short, but sweet, list of internet resources for users of Lotus Development Corporation's excellent (and hopefully not forgotten) word processor, Ami Pro!

Information Sources

Lotus on the Web: A must-visit site. Includes frequently updated info on the new "team-oriented" upgrade of Ami Pro: WORD PRO. Am I upgrading? Probably, since it will be more compatible with Win95.
PC Computing's "1001 Word Processing Tips: Ami Pro" This includes a nice batch o' tips.
The Windows FAQ answers a number of Ami Pro-related queries.
Ami Pro Import/Export Filetypes via Spinaltap Gopher. This is basic info you can probably figure out when you install or open "Import" from the file menu. But if you're thinking about buying AP, it might be helpful to know its import/export capabilities.
Various technotes on Ami Pro via the MIT gopher
Usenet Newsgroup: comp.os.ms-windows.apps.word-proc
Graph of Lotus Development Corp Stock (name: LOTS) -- In case you haven't heard, IBM has taken Lotus over! But sheesh, take a gander at the way this stock chart spikes!!!
Lotus for educators: Mostly info on Lotus Notes, but helpful for administrators considering Lotus products for their schools.
A PCUG Ami Pro Special Interest Site: Will this place's on-line presence grow? Hope so.

Macros & Other File Sources

APWRITER VERSION 2.0: It's finally here! Upgraded and updated. You can read the accompanying text file on-line, if you'd like more information before downloading this file. You do NOT need the original "apwriter" to use this upgrade -- this file includes everything you need.
Lotus Computer Services FTP Site: Sanctioned files by Lotus Development Corporation.
Ashley Bass' Home Page: A wonderful collection of unique macros direct from the author!
The Ami Pro FTP Site at Oakland.
AmiWeb -- an AmiPro to HTML converter for writing WWW documents. COOL! If you like AmiWeb, check this site often -- the author updates the version quite frequently.
JOURNAL.ZIP: An enhancement to the Writer's Journal (in APWRITER.ZIP and APWRITR2.ZIP) by Ryan Michael Williams.
AmiFind v. 1.6: A great update to this perfect add-in file-finder by MadDog Software. Recommended for all AP users.
Context Search: A useful word-find macro, which finds words in their contexts. By Jack Horsfield.
Three Sets of Writer's Templates by Melton's Manuscripts. These are Ami Pro stylesheets, based on the Writer's Digest Guide to Manuscript Formats. Useful!

Et Cetera

Lotus on the Web has now added a new link to their FTP site, which includes a variety of standard macros and other Ami Pro file support. Ftp to: 192.216.79.100 /pub

There are other places to turn to for Ami Pro support. If you haven't tried it yet, check out the Lotus Tech Line bulletin board for the most files and support (it is a long distance call with your modem, but well worth a look-see. However, note that most of these files seem to appear on the Lotus FTP Site above). The number is: (404) 395-7707.

On-line service providers, such as Compuserve, American On-Line, and GEnie all offer plenty of AmiPro macros in their software libraries, as well.
