- I'm well aware of the existence of the AppBuilder project - believe me,
- it makes a difference (now if it were only *free* :) ), but the point of
- this is not to have an interface builder for the Amiga, it's to make
- people aware of the Amiga as a viable market. If they're writing software
- on a PC with these systems, it's no sweat to build an Amiga version if
- they support the Amiga. This means there's a much better chance of these
- companies porting to the Amiga, which means big names from other markets
- testing the waters. I expect, since they wouldn't need a seperate Amiga
- development team (or not much of one), they would find the Amiga market
- profitable, and that would mean more software for the Amiga that people
- recognize.
