ESDYKE@MTUS5.BITNET (Erick Dyke) (07/18/90)
I have been working with Amiga Vision for about three days and love it! However, I have found a few bugs, and am wondering since it was put out by a third party, if I should send them the bugs -- post the bugs here -- send Commodore the bugs, or take the bugs and mind my own business :-) If you have not worked with Amiga Vision, give it a try! I am a hard-core 'C/C++' programmer and I thought that this was going to be another one of those products that looks so cool, but after working with it -- Blows. I can not believe the power/simplicity/versitility that it gives. All we need now is a Amigavision -> Binary program and we are all set! Erick -- ESDYKE AT MTUS5

Each has some nice features that AV lacks (at least at the momemt!) but each is *much* harder to use. It's almost impossible to make glaring errors in the program's logic since you write a structure diagram of the program by writing it. Are you familiar with ARexx? When you couple this with AV, it makes *lots* of interesting things possible. Just as a quick example, try to join a bunch of strings in AV's expression editor; the strcat function is a real bear for more than two strings. Instead, use an EXECUTE icon set to ARexx (remember to activate ARexx first) and for filespec type this: return [var1] [var2] " This is it:" || [var3] [var4] Set the result to the variable where you want the new string and *poof!* With ARexx's string-handling abilities and its interface to most major productivity titles, you can do all sorts of interesting things in AV!
