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 :^) Stephen Bailey Sawyer & Bailey Film and Video CIS # 72773,2451
