Phil,
Maybe I am a little spoiled with the upgrade differences I'm used to- 3DS
r.1 to r.2, Animator to Animator Pro, Windows 3.0 to 3.1, together with
some of the other issues I've discussed with you. Made me feel like
bringing out the checkbook for this one was not the best deal I ever heard
of. Like I think I mentioned, scalable fonts would have made the original
purchase more comfortable. To be honest with you, when I ordered it, I
though there was some capability for at least aliasing text, but instead I
very rarely ever use the product.
One of the things that truly disappointed me was that I was unable to make
outside DOS calls from inside the script player. Again, I thought this was
part of the original program. If you can give me any way to call my
Diaquest software, I can write the batch files. Or, if you guys were to
incorporate Sony's VISCA interface to access tape decks and laser disks,
you could unleash some of the power I thought I was getting with the
player. Phil, I'm not a programmer. Is it that big of a deal to make the
script player do this? I really don't want to fill up my hard disk with
more programs I don't have time to learn how to use.
Thanks, Roger D.
