Well, I have done some playing with AV, and I definitely like the lack of scripts (a la HyperCard or MacroMind Director).. Let me state right now that I am a convicted mac junkie, but I must admit that AmigaVision is a much better/easier-to-use program than HyperCard. (one reason would be the absence of scripts in AV) There is another program called "Authorware" (for both Mac and Windows environments) that is very simelar to AV, both in it's "style", and in it's... (what's the word).. "modularity".. I didn't really DO anything with it, since it only is a limited demo-type version, unfortunately. The dragging of icons around on a screen to creat something seems so natural, it's very simelar to the way we think --in pictures, not words. ................................................ : _ : : _/._/ . jurgen_schaub@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca : :..............................................:
