Hey there! I've been playing arund with win 3.1 a bit lately & wonder if any of the wise people here know of something like Autoit our Auto Hot Key thats works in Win 3.1?

The build in macro recorder isn't quite flexible enough (seem to rely heavily on timing) so I need a proper scripting language that can wait on windows to appear and take actions ect

I've tried the earliest versions of Autoit and Auto Hot Key I can find and they seem to need win 95 or win nt as a minimum.

If anyone is aware of anything that would work in win 3.1 it appreciate it.

I'm trying to bulk convert a bunch of old video for windows encoded AVIs using the video for windows AVI editor. This is to get them using a codec my 386 can run. The steps to follow are the same for each vid, but timing between steps is variable due to the differing sizes of the vids.

The menus & command required all have keybindings so this should be simple enough assuming I can find a scripting language that will work.... would visual basic be able do it???

.... STRING space corrupt?  But I always use TAPE!
