The latest file is amiganos-900214a.zoo ... however, I've been told these
files are beta releases only, hence a few bugs and no docs.  The internet
address of sayshell.umd.edu is 128.8.2.88.  Send email to Louis Mamakos, the
author of the amiga port, at louie@sayshell.umd.edu

One recent experience with the "latest" version was as follows:
   start ftp
   telnet some_remote_site
   ..initiate ftp from that remote site
   ..send file to your Amiga

   ..suddenly, the telnet session closes (I figured it was the remote host...
                                          it's been having a lot of problems)
   telnet another_site
   ..debugging info sent to initial cli

   ..prompt returns in the initial cli
   ..nos code unloaded, windows still open

   ..decide to save files in RAM: to df0:
   ..zig zag pattern on screen, white, black, drive light still on
   ..3 finger salute...unable to recovercedfile, 44 blocks wiped out on
     disk in df0:, 3 hours of work & backups...

I'll email off a bug report when I track it down.
BTW, much thanks to Dave, for DiskSalve.
