- Well, good news. Another vendor has announced HotLinks. SEE BELOW:
-
-
- BLACK BELT ANNOUNCES HOTLINKS SUPPORT!
-
- Black Belt Systems is pleased to announce support for Soft-Logik's
- "HotLinks" file publish/subscribe system, as part of the standard
- Imagemaster release. This is another first for Black Belt; we are
- the first developer to provide comprehensive HotLinks support,
- though in this case, we'll all benefit as the other developers
- catch up to us. Again. :^)
-
- Hotlinks allows you to share items (images in this case) between
- programs via intermediate files which are handled by the HotLinks
- system. Benefits include not having to exit applications, or manually
- import or export data - Hotlinks "knows" when an item (like an image)
- in a document has changed, and will correctly deliver the goods when
- the output is generated. Hotlinks keeps track of the latest version
- of your files and maintains them as up-to-date. Hotlinks is a very
- exciting capability newly added to the Amiga by Soft-Logik.
-
- This is not vaporware; Imagemasters HotLinks capability will be
- generally available beginning this coming week (the week of August
- 31st). Black Belt Systems would like to express our thanks to Soft-
- Logik, who has co-operated in the spirit of the finest Amiga
- developers.
-
- Note that when other developers release HotLinks capabilties,
- Imagemasters HotLinks tools will link our image files to their
- applications as well; as other software matures in this way, a
- great deal more power will be afforded the user.
