Could someone please direct me to a succinct, to-the-point, but not necessarily short, list of multimedia options available on the Amiga? I'm developing a proposal to develop multimedia and multimedia systems for a large company in the San Francisco bay area. What I'm looking for is what *media* are available , that is, what base media underneath the file-system-specific (UNIX/Mac/PC/Amiga) and computer-specific (UNIX/Mac/PC/Amiga) or program-specific data representation. For example: color Postscript, slides, overheads, composite video, RGB, S-VHS (separate chroma & lumina), sound, edittable sound, MIDI sequencable sound, CD-ROM (1-second seekable video disc used by Amiga Vision), interactive, meta-programmed (AREXX-programmed) learning aids. Maybe we could brainstorm on this to produce a full list. If things start to get out of hand, within a few days I will ask people to start sending their ideas to me by electronic mail and I will produce an alphabetized list (and maybe other lists, such as hierarchical and synonym lists) for the net. Thanks, folks. Tom
