Steve,
I think that pulling up a file requester could be ahieved in AV
quite nicely using at most a call to ARexx. I also think that AV is _not_
just a presentation and video tool, but that it is also a powerful
application generator. No, it's not going to compete with C, not even
compiled basic as far as speed goes, but it is going to allow users to
program applications that they might never consider doing in BASIC or C.
AV's dbase compatible database engine and ARexx interface are just two of
it's features that allow real, applications to be developed.
I take it that this message is off the thread were I replied to
Betty's message about BASIC being an easy way to do such-and-such
applications. I still believe that AmigaVision can and will do all of
those applications and that the average user will be able to do them a heck
of a lot easier in AmigaVision as opposed to BASIC or C.
I'm leaving a hot one here… but I I'm going to a hotter place
yet; Florida, for a week. 🙂 I'll be back…
