Actually, Commodore didn't write AmigaVision, it was written by a company
called IMSATT.  They did a popular expert system for the IBM.  I think
some of the IFF related code came from CATS, but as a whole, the program
was done outside of Commodore.  I've talked with a couple people at
IMSATT, and they sure know their stuff.  AV was written by 4 programmers,
with a 5th one added recently.  I think they did a heck of a job.  It's
nice see CBM making an effort to use the talents of 3rd party developers.
I'm glad the days of TextCraft and GraphiCraft are over.
