[comp.sys.amiga] CANDO Info. - request

rthorstr@sleepy.bmd.trw.com (10/31/90)

This is a repost of this request.  If you have seen this before I apologize,
but my system went down as I was posting it and I wasn't sure it made out
onto the net.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently purchased a copy of CANDO and have been playing around with it
to learn how it works.  I plan on doing some development with CANDO for
my own use.  I would like to know if someone has produced some PD 
applications using CANDO that I can obtain.  I would like to see what kinds
of uses it has been used for.
 
Also, is there anyone out there that has programmed using both AMIGAVISION and
CANDO and can give me their impressions on the the strengths and weaknesses
of the two packages in comparison to each other?
 
                                    thanks, 
 
                                             R.T.

 This is a repost of this request.  If you have seen this before I apologize,
 but the system I am on has been up and down for the past two weeks and
 apparently not much has been going out or coming in.

I have both packages and like both.

I find that CanDO is annoyingly slow in moving through the maze of windows
and requestors, and scripting.  I do like the fact that you can make your
own intuition type windows and screens where in AmigaVision you can not.
Cando seriously needs a 'database' capability, it is the lacking of 
ability that has caused me to abandon it for now.

AmigaVision is a large program with a lot of capability, more than even
what appears on the surface.  It does not do as well as CanDo does in the
applicaiton development area, but you can work around most of its weakneses.
 
I think you should get both!
