Dear comp.multimedia reader,

I am working on a project where we have 4 ibm mm-machines whith
os2 2.0 installed (8557-259 system unit with 4Mb memory, XGA display
and Actionmedia II Display Adapter/A, to be expanded with a
Video Capture Adapter in the near future).

This came in a package with a lot of software (AVC, Linkway, Storyboard,
C Set/2, the OS/2 Dev. Toolkit, ActionMedia Dev. Toolkit and Microsoft
MultiMedia Extensions).

I have been using an authoring tool under DOS (Phoenix from Goal-systems -
now Legent), but am relatively new to OS/2 and completely new to the
software mentioned above.
I have some experience in C, but not in the MM-field.

How about that for an intro ...

Now I have a few questions (of course) :

First, we want to expand the hardware with a VideoDisk player. We're going to
have a talk with several dealers, and I would like to get some background
on this first. What are the caveats, are there any specific things I have to
look out for, any questions I realy have to ask...

Second, is anyone else using the AVC-software? I would like to know the pro's
and con's before I dive into yet another software package, so I don't have
to find out about the limitations of this program in the middle of
development. (I didn't get my say in the software choice, I was thrown
in when all decisions were made ...)
Info about the other software is welcome also.

Third, ... well, anything else you would like to tell a Mm-Os2-newbee?

Greetins and thanks for any feedback ...
