Doubtful.  We just bought InfoChannel for the Amiga at work. It's Kinda
Scala's Big Brother.  The dealer has seen the soon to be released PC
version which he will also sell but said it is slower, has less effects,
less support for motion, and required Scala to write thier own replacement
for MS-DOS because MS-DOS cannot handle the data speed needed to do the work.
The computers are now fast enough, the OS is not.  Scala MM has been recently
upgraded. Was he comparing to the Current version?

At least this is what I was told. Perhaps he was right but we will never
know until they actually release the PC version. Never put any stock by
what you see at Expo's. Those demo writers are damned tricky. It's thier
job :)
