     When people are asking to be able to compile AmigaVision modules, I
see their point.  What if I design an application with AV that I wish to
distribute to the general public (say, perhaps, a geography quiz program
that combines digitized speech, graphics, and a database).  I can do this
only so long as the general populace has AmigaVision, which (for reasons
already posted) is not the case.
     Is there any way to have AmigaVision generate a SCRIPT that will just
call the appropriate sound/graphics/video/dbase files as long as those
files are present in the same directory or can be located.  This would make
distribution of the finished product far easier.  As it is now, I forsee
people sending copies of AmigaVision with their application (ILLEGAL copies!)
just so their clients/the end users can even USE the application.
     This is a dangerous situation that could inhibit the production of
excellent products on an otherwise wonderful authoring program!
