So what about giving the informations you can supply. There have to be at
least some, haven't they?

That's something I do not understand. On one side you are speaking about not
giving informations about the EX's because of fearing the competition from
third parties and on the other side you're welcome other products... So you
don't fear a new product because it can't be as good as yours ? So, without an
offense, I believe that there are much "thing" missing in scala. So I
think, to make a product with all the options scala already have plus
the ones that are missing (real time control about every event,
mixing effects/events, intuition-usage to name just some) would make a "real"
multimedia program, as that can be found on other platforms (like premiere on
mac/pc for instance)

It was not meant as an offense in any way, just a releave of the frustation
about the lack of support and further development. It gives a felling of
becoming a minority when stil programing for the amiga.
