Quite right. Using Arexx from AV opens up some interesting possibilities. For example, I have used AV, via Arexx, to control DigiView 4.0. AmigaVision controls a laserdisk player, sets up the first frame I want and then sends a command to DigiView to digitize teh image. Then I sent (again from AV via Arexx) a command to save the image to disk. AmigaVision then moved the laserdisk one frame ahead and reperated the whole process until I had successfully digitized the section of film I needed. The final set of commands was to combine the frames into an anim, then load and play the anim from AmigaVision! The only problem I had was DigiView seemed to disable the serial port when it digitized an image. Once I installed a multiserial card and ran the laserdisk from one of those ports everything went smoothly… -Lou
