Message-ID: <1993Aug16.181105.13724@vta.atl.ga.us> Date: 16 Aug 93 18:11:05 GMT Sender: james@vta.atl.ga.us (James Wilson) Organization: Video Tape Associates, Atlanta, GA Lines: 18 I called Inovatronics today about their new "upgrade" to 2.1 of CanDo. Turns out that there is no Deckbrowser for this version! This means that you can not distribute CanDo programs any more. I confirmed this after talking to one of the guys at the 800 number. He said that they were thinking of making something to bind the decks that would pop up with a "Written in CanDo" window. All of this, MASSIVE amounts (in version 1.6) of enforcer hits, for only $75! They finally support ASL requesters and have made a lot of improvements in other areas (you can even type in diacritical marks, so that the Germans will be happy) but with every upgrade costing $40 (original to v1.5) to $75 (v1.6 to v2.1), you might want to consider something else before wasting you time learning CanDo...as long as I have to learn a language, it might as well be C! Just a little warning to the unsuspecting... -James Wilson
