I read in the Feb. edition of "CD-ROM review" that SUN and Philips have signed a deal in which SUN will develop authoring systems for CD-I applications (perhaps CD-ROM also?). How long have they been at it? Does anyone know who else is developing such authoring systems? Thanks in advance.

Hi, my name is Mitsu Hadeishi and I work in the CD-I Development Group at Electronic Arts. We are also working on an authoring system for CD-I, and we have been in communication with Sun to help standardize file formats, etc., although our efforts are separate. We completed a simple CD-I emulator in October which we've been using to test product concepts and to flesh out the issues of CD-I software/product design, and we shall be getting a reference prototype from Philips by April of this year on which to begin full-blown development efforts. -Mitsu Hadeishi CD-I Research and Development Electronic Arts
