I just bought A.M.A.S. (at AmiExpo), and I'm having trouble with the
software --- it only samples 200K banks at a time.  Questions:
	1)	I've got 8 banks lit up with a decimal point -- why can't
		I access anything except "B" bank?  (I've got 3 meg on an
		A2000HD)  I can copy fine, but not switch banks..
	2)	What's the latest version of the software?  I have 1.1.
	3)	Is there anyway I can get it to cascade the recording
		automatically (from B to 1, 1 to 2, and so on..)  I want
		to digitize long tracks.
	4)	Is it advisable for me to get another sampling software
		package?  I've heard good things about Audio Master, but
		I'm wary about spending more money...
	5)	What sources can I look up for programming my own audio
		sampler software?  If no commercial product exists that
		meets my needs, I'll just have to roll my own --- and <sigh>
		figure out the IFF format, and stuff like that.
	6)	AMAS claims a hardware potential of digitizing at 90kHz
		(mono) and 40kHz (stereo).  Is there any possibility of
		writing software that can take advantage of that potential?
		Does it exist?    Is it PD?  Can anyone mail it to me?  Does
		it work with AMAS? (most important..)
	7)	Can anyone send me that 8svx IFF specs?  Well, no, can
		someone send me all the IFF specs ('cept ILBM).
	8)	The SAVE and LOAD options don't seem to work.  Why?
	9)	What is MicroDeal's phone?  I want to call them and flame
		them for the software..

	I can't believe this is the same package reviewed as "a winning
package" by AmigaWorld.

Thanks to all for replies received.
