I still haven't had the time to check out oasis for myself, but as I understand it, Oasis is much easier to learn. Obuild is all cryptic command-line stuff and is tough to pick up unless you've got an experienced user to show you the ropes. I think the main advantage of Obuild is that I've tried to design it for speed-building. Most of the new features recently have been to add tools to allow builders to eliminate some of the tedious stuff and concentrate on creativity. The main disadvantages of obuild are the steep learning curve, the buggy zone reset editor, and the missing shop editor (which isn't going to be available any time soon). I'm considering some ideas to make learning it easier, possibly with a menu interface to complement the comman-line. Also, if you're just getting it and would like some help learning how to use it, try ftp.clark.net/pub/samedi for some great docs written of Beosig of Slanted Reality. I'll put those in the circle ftp site soon. If you're still confused, drop me a line and I may be able to persuade an obuild expert to give a quick tutorial :) Sam
