For one, CanDo is a good package, well updated, and easy to use. AmigaVision is also a good package, that will basically do anything you want it to do, everything from simple slideshows that you can whip together with different wipes and transitions.. Something like that will take you 3 minutes to prepare. AmigaVision chops the workload down into a series of icons you can connect in a flowchart type fashion. Has full support for all graphics modes, sound formats, even animation formats.It also allows user-definable hotspots on your graphics, laserdisk/cd control. A very VERY smooth package. Though im not a veteran user of AmigaVision, I was, nevertheless, able to throw together a a slideshow of 15 or so pictures..Took me all of 5 minutes of point-and-click to set up the program flow and set the whole presentation into action. It has way too many options for me to go into here, so I siuggest you either ask around about it, or pick up a copy. its a multimedia must. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Flicker turns me on. -BJP | Get back into the SeX PiSToLs if you program in Arctangent, Naperville IL. | C.
