Ron,
Thank you for your comments, I'll pass them along to my partner.
I picked up Helm at the competitive upgrade price of $89 although I
haven't done anything with it yet. I expect it will likely be my
development application (assuming it runs as advertised) because of the
future Windoz support.
Naturally, my partner is very concerned about investing $$$ in the Amiga
platform. He is aware of it's development friendly features and cost
effectiveness but the support (or lack of it), future availability and the
quality of development products is a concern, not to mention if CD32 will
take off at all. But, all told, purchasing multimedia develoment products
for the Amiga ends up being about 10-20% less expensive, approximately,
which is a real incentive.
Do you know of anyone using CanDo for product development? What do you
think of textbased authoring packages such as the Director (which I have
used but may now be defuncted??) and Amos? Would they run faster or more
efficiently in a real world situation? The problem with the Director is
it's data handling features. It isn't easy to develop a database.
