Does Cando 2.0 support AGA graphics? If not when will it. I would think that a lot of your Cando customers would be real interested in an upgrade that supported the new chipset. We could do something about the shortage of AGA software.

Jeff, CanDo does not yet support the new AGA graphics. I don't really know what the schedule for support is, but I know it will come. Of course, many people want it and have already asked for it. It is high on our priority list. Martin – via Whap!

Martin, A friend of mine called and asked today and was told to "wait till summer." (RSN?) 😉 Ric Fischer SoftWood Tech Support Phoenix, Arizona, USA (602) 431-9151

Well, maybe Summer is about right. Sounds feasible. Martin

Hi, Martin! I was hoping to make a titler program for my use, with CanDo 2.0 . It currently doesn't support the ECS displays (ie. 1280×400) yet, does it? Glad to hear about the plans for AGA support though! Vance

Vance, I guess it does support displays that size; I just flipped over to CanDo and made a 16 color display 1280×400 and it worked fine. Your titler project sounds interesting. Let us know how it goes. Martin – via Whap!

Glad to hear it does work! I'm finishing up a BBS maintenance program with CanDo right now, and will start on the titler after. Actually, it's more than a titler. I plan to put in options for scripting, storyboarding, slate, colourbars and tone, etc etc… Since I'm making it for my own use (at least for now), I'm not in a great hurry to complete everything in it. Are there any plans to make a separately available program that could re-interpret into C or Assembly and compile? I can live w/o it, but smaller program sizes would be nice (I always bind everything together). Vance
