I've come across an industrial customer who needs help with an extremely dry and dull ascii text file that describes his product. He would like it "jazzed up" somehow. My original demo with them consisted of several animations and bullet screens, all scripted to fade, feed and branch to one another. Now what I'm up against is 17 pages of ascii text to "jazz up," and the limitations of size and space. Is it possible to script with more than one disk interconnected by the script, and what is meant by levels (as in you can only use 24 levels of loops, etc.)? If you can't script from disk to disk, is there a self-extracting utility that you could recommend to set up on end-users' machines? Also the aaplayhi utility works great for me so far, but has it been fighting with end-users' machines. I think my presentation may have to be 320 X 200 just for space and resolution of old VGA. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. It would be nice to land a Fortune 500 company. Roger D. P.S. Exotic batch file creation may be over my head. I'm new at this computer stuff.
