- Just a note, there's actualy two great AGA-supporting extensions in beta-
- state right now. The new GUI, and the new OS DevKit. For those complaining
- about the OS DevKit being hard to use (like myselve) it's now including
- some very easy-to-use screens, windows and gadgets commands, one of the
- best features is that it's capable of fully supporting datatypes and
- locales in your programs (localisation is almost imposible with GUI as far
- as I know for now).. I can inform you that I'm currently beta-testing the
- OS DevKit 1.54 and from what I've been told about GUI I'd prefer OS anytime
- as it gives so much else that the GUI don't have. The lib file of OS is
- currently about 92 Kb in size and are almost bigger than the mainlib of
- AMOS Pro 2.0 :)..
-
- I hope noone takes this too serious but I'm a bit pissed by always hearing
- that the GUI is the best solution for intuition and it's the only serious
- looking extension for AGA users.. WRONG, GUI might still be the easist to
- use, but OS gives much better control for whatever you plan to make, and
- it dosn't matter if you want intuition or AGA screens, this will be my
- no. 1 choice from now on... And by the way, there's a little program that
- can convert a GUI build with GAD-tools-box to a pice of OS-source :))
