I'm starting a DVI applicaion for use in a kiosk.  Using OS/2 is
sort of required, unless doing it in Windows will have superior
results.  Can anyone compare AVC and MEDIAscript?  Are there
other tools available that I should know about?  I'm mainly
interested in ease and robustness of development, and the
relative speed of the completed apps.

I have a copy of AVC and the MEDIAscript Desktop Edition (I can
get the Professional Edition, if necessary), so I am familiar
with the basic features of each.  However, I haven't done any
development yet, so the long term snags are what I'm looking
for. 

My app. will have an animation in attract mode, which allows the
user to touch parts of the moving animation.  The rest is pretty
standard - buttons and video in a window.  One other constraint: 
I can't wait past the end of November for products that aren't
shipping. 

Thanks for any help,
