Ross,
PMFJI, but I know of many programs that interact with the Toaster
Switcher, AdPro coming to mind immediately. I see no reason why a
third-party application couldn't implement a method (ARexx, probably) to
send its output to the switcher. True, your application interface remains
on its Amiga screen, but it's the ouput that's ultimately important and
worth seeing with the most clarity.
And, for doing things like particle animation (which, I know, Imagine
implements and LW lacks) there are atleast three programs I can think of
that work directly with the LW interface (or, atleast its scene files).
I would love for apps like VistaPro to have an option for rendering to the
Switcher, or saving FrameStores. Imagine, too. As a LW user, I look at
Imagine as a worthy challenger that can only help LW get better. There are
plusses and minuses on both sides.
BTW, I didn't think you were "talking bad" (my hairs have relaxed), though
I think there is a bigger picture involved :^)
