Irritatingly I've got more private answers than through the list :-()

It's not fair to use 'management by coner' on a Mailinglist ;-)

Anyway, at the moment I only use the relational video-database (the
one, which was included in the distribution) a little bit.

On the other hand (not relational), I've started with something to
get an overview over the articles of my computer-, garden- and do-
it-yourselfer-magazins, and to generate an Aminet-database using
ARexx and the more informativ ADT_RECENT-files.

In the long term, I want to use fiasco for a literature-project to
archive SF-, Horror- and Fantasy-Stories, but it takes longer than
expected to generate the draft for this OS-independent project via
a mailinglist.

Most time I try to get fiasco to do something I want in the way I
want it ;-)

For Example:

If I want to put a magazin into the database, I'm not really lucky
to just do it in the mask fiasco offers me. Also the way to get an
overview of the articles in one mag is not what i want, both views
(record or list) are uncomfortable (for me).

This becomes more important, if you have >20 databases with lots
of relations.

As Nils told me, there is no 'Arexx-way' to the gui-lib he's using
(olsens fine gtlayout, as far as I remember), I have searched for
other ways to create io-masks via ARexx from where I can fill or
use Fiasco. Ive only found VaRexx, MuiRexx and TritonRexx, and the
one I likemost is Triton, which I'm currently trying to learn to
use step by step.

As I had a very good exchange of views with Nils about possibili-
ties I would like to see in Fiasco in the mailinglist-less time,
I'm not forcing these tries rather then waiting for a statement
from Nils with something like a roadmap for Fiasco, see my other
mail.

Well, enough for today, hope I haven't bored to much...
