[comp.windows.ms] Authoring Systems

iroberts@pichem.adelaide.edu.au (Ian Roberts) (05/24/91)

I need information about Authoring systems that are created to run within
Windows 3.0. I trust that this topic does not stray too far from the general
interests of users of this news group.

I am currently evaluating a product called IconAuthor by AimTech. It seems to
present quite a good interface to the user for the creation of educational
material for Computer Based Learning facilities. However, it claims to do a
great many things that we are interested in but cannot immediately test.

In particular, the ability of any particular Authoring system to interface and
control video tape and video disk players and thereby incorporate these items
into lessons is of interest.

Is there anybody "out there" who uses Authoring software on DOS PC's who can
help us with advice based on their experience either with IconAuthor in
particular or other similar packages?
