One of the advantages of moving your application from AMOS to Windows or UNIX/Linux is that it makes it easier to interface with the outside world (since most of the "outside world" is running under Windows or UNIX/Linux.)

So the following topics are covered less in the spirit of "how-to" and more in the spirit of "what-you-can-do" (with suggestions on where to go for further "how-to" details.)
