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.
