I'm contemplating building an application to track inventory etc. for my small business. I'm considering using AREXX to do this, but I'd like to have a menu interface with it. Will the RexxIntuition library on FF disk #393 do this, or do I need other parts? Also, someone posted a brief article about writing an accounting package in AmigaVision. Would AmigaVision be a better tool to do this? (I have AmigaVision that came with my A3000 - just haven't had time to examine it carefully). Paul Bidwell email: p.l.bidwell@att.com

Amigavision (AV) would perhaps be a slightly strange vehicle for such an application at first sight, (as it is primarily a multimedia authoring system) however on further investigation it might suit your needs. AV has a database editor which is very easy to use and which has a file format which is compatible with other database packages such as Superbase. There is an example of how one would build a simple database application on the Amigavision tutorial disk. I have used the database myself and have been quite pleased with it. I have founhd AREXX rather harder to get into than AV. Moreover you could easily add crazy sound effects to indicate interesting accounting phenomena due to the multimedia capabilities :-)
