[comp.sys.amiga.applications] CanDo vs. HyperBook vs. Foundation?

sdl@lyra.mitre.org (Steven D. Litvinchouk) (03/07/91)

I'm interested in buying one of the newer Hypercard-like products for
my Amiga 2000.  CanDo, HyperBook and Foundation (a rework of
UltraCard) all seem to resemble Hypercard in one way or another.  Does
anyone have any strong preferences for any of these?  How do they
compare in features, resemblance to Hypercard, ease of programming,
etc.?

I am working on a project in which I am using CanDo and AmigaVision.
I am having CanDo send requests for VideoDisc service to AmigaVision
   I have AmigaVision wait for the message from CanDo using the
wait icon as the first icon in my flow.  I use the variable
changing command of AmigaVision (its name escapes me) to change
the value of a variable called "Message" from CanDo.
AmigaVision is sending back the string "20" in response to 
CanDo's AREXX messages.  The AmigaVision manual states that error
returns from AmigaVision's AREXX port will consist of descriptive
strings of text.  Numerical error codes are not described anywhere in
the manual.  I called up INOVatronics and asked if CanDo might 
possibly be generating the return code and was told it was not.

	Questions:
		Does anyone know of a technical assist line for 
		AmigaVision?

		Does anyone know what the meaning of the error code
		20 is as returned from AmigaVisions AREXX port.
