I'll try to keep this from sounding like an advertisement, but since I have the latest AmigaWorld in front of me, I'll just repeat what it says. Disclaimer: I have no association with Inovatronics, the company that makes Power Windows. I'm just an active reader, and a budding programmer whose looking for info :-) * edits multiple windows simultaneously * creates string, integer, proportional and BOOLean gadgets * reads in IFF brushes for gadget imagery * allows easy menu positioning * design custom screens with extensive palette control * includes menu mutual-exclude support * generates optional event handler * supports Modula-2, C, 68000 assembler * lets you read in and edit any existing window with its unique "Grab A Window" function The ad goes on to give quotes from William Volk (Aegis Draw Plus), John W. Bittner, Jr. (Zuma Group: TV*Text), and some other people who used PW in the development of their programs. -- "Truth is false and logic lost..." - Neil Peart (who at the time didn't realize he was talking about RU) lachac@topaz.rutgers.edu <--------OR--------> {seismo|ames}!rutgers!topaz!lachac
