In response to a flurry of requests regarding AmigaVision:

1.  When?  It will first appear inside bundled products, then as a 
standalone.  Expect the standalone product to be available in the US
starting around the second week of June.

2.  dBASEIII, what does this have to do with AmigaVision?  AmigaVision
stores database information in a dBASEIII compatible file format, so that
you can load in databases you may already have for use in AmigaVision.  An
example might be student names, addresses and grades.  You may wish to
note in your database that they have gotten to a certain level in your
"courseware", or received a certain grade.

3.  Support for Bridgeboard?  No.

4.  What is AmigaVision?  It is an icon-based programming language specializing
in the control of multimedia events.  While it has the usual control statements
(i.e. if-then, etc) and math functions, it also gives direct control of sound,
speech, pictures, animations, and videodiscs.

The upcoming Amiga Developers Conference will provide more information, and
so will purchasing the actual product :-).
