Well Cando supports all the resolutions, haven't noticed if it supports overscan yet.. (Never told it to try..) >How easy would a simple animation (i.e. some boxes moving around the >screen) be to do in each? In cando ya could do it very easially, by using a BrushAnim. (Or a brush), ya then tell the brush(anim) to move around. I'd wait and check out Cando ver 1.5 (V1.05?) (The NEW version) that is to be out reall soon. Cando can do a LOT more then Hypercard-like stuff. -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York (Hope THIS sig don't insult anyone!)
