I keep hearing about how much more 3rd party support there is for DCTV, but the comparison doesn't seem to hold up. Re HAM-E third party support, there is Aegis SpectraColor for HAM-E, The HAM-E Workshop, ASDG ADPro 2.0 support, BB's own ImageMaster, several superbitmap viewers; others that I'm not remembering right now. I know that DCTV also has it's third party support, so I'm not knocking that, just wanted to point out that HAM-E isn't exactly behind at all. If your need is to go from Toaster to video in real-time, and there's a DCTV conversion program to do it, more power to them. Yeah, it would take a couple days to put together a snappy IM macro to do the same thing for HAM-E images (I mean a real snappy one!), but you'd have to know ARexx, etc…. But it's a moot point anyway. Black Belt confirmed that there weren't making the HAM-E any longer. I hope it's because they have a big deal in the works, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
