CanDo 1.5 (Part 1 of 3)
CanDo! It's the greatest and version 1.5 is the latest! These exciting
new features in CanDo version 1.5 are designed with one thing in mind:
giving CanDo users exactly what they want. More control over the machine,
increased ease of use, and the power to do just about anything.
What's New in CanDo v1.5: A Lot!
Database Functions – Any data can be stored and retrieved from disk files,
allowing easy custom database creation.
Multiple Windows – Multi-window, multi-screen decks can now be created, as
well as custom requesters for use from multiple decks.
Floating Point Math – v1.5 supports full IEEE double precision operations,
68881/68882 math co-processors, and all common Math and Trig functions.
AmigaDOS 2.0 support – CanDo now allows the use of AmigaDOS 2.0 border
styles (2.0 not required). APP-Window events and overscan are supported as
well.
Improved ARexx Control – This includes asynchronous messages allowing
applications to work independently, and improved message replies.
New Script Editor – The new editor supports cut-and-paste and the ability
to switch between any of an object's scripts when editing.
Expanded Variables System: Records and Arrays – This system now supports
multi-dimensional arrays, Record Variables (similar to structures but much
easier to use), and variables which are local to a script. Also,
expressions are now evaluated 40% faster than before. This means faster
execution of your decks.
New Commands and Functions – CanDo version 1.5 contains over fifty new
commands and functions to support the features described above, and many
other new features as well.
