INOVAtronics Announces CanDo 2.0 Completely revised documentation, (English or German) along with developer-oriented enhancements provide easier access to CanDo's extensive feature set for authoring multimedia kiosk information systems, presentations, video productions, utility programs, training systems, and other custom development projects. World of Commodore, Pasadena, California, September 11, 1992 -INOVAtronics announces the 2.0 version of CanDo, their Amiga multimedia authoring and development environment. The new version includes many enhanced developer tools and a completely new user manual designed to simplify understanding and access to CanDo's extensive feature set. Along with a set of new introductory tutorials, the 400-page, fully indexed manual contains more and better explanations about authoring, scripting and database design, and does an overall better job of giving the user a tool to unlock the potential of CanDo. On the software side, a number of additions to CanDo 2.0 have been added to reduce developer time and effort, and increase usefulness of CanDo applications. One of these improvements is Script Bookmarking. Frequently requested by CanDo users, Script Bookmarking speeds development by providing a convenient way to return to certain scripts in just one or two keystrokes — an extremely useful tool when developing large scale applications. Another addition in CanDo 2.0 is SuperDuper, a timesaving utility which lets you automatically insert complete spreadsheet-style columns and rows of objects (buttons, fields or sliders) into your applications. Also supported is the DOS Notify function under Kickstart 2.0, which is a more efficient way to tell the operating system to watch for specific file system changes. Also new to CanDo 2.0: an Object Layer Tool, which lets you change the hierarchy of objects and Bug Basher, an all new script test and verification suite which significantly improves error-checking [ MORE ]
