Is this also the >case with any other Amiga models (2500 ...)? There are two issues: 1. To date there is no version of AmigaBasic that is working properly on the A3000 (you know, 24 bit addressing). But this may change. WHEN some time this is ok, THEN no. 2 may come into business: 2. As far as I know there may be also marketing issues (NOT my job). Fact is, the A3000 is already bundled with two languages/applications, ARexx and AmigaVision; AmigaBasic would be third. (Don't know about other models.) -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions... Commodore Frankfurt, Germany \X/ {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!cbmger!peterk
