Yes, I believe MODS can be played on PCs. Of course, there aren't many (or any?) commercial Amiga authoring packages that support MODS directly so I guess that's a mute point anyway. Authoring packages definitely can cut down on develoment time. However, I wish there was a common development language that would facilitate porting. Of course, authoring S/W developers don't want a open architechture because they would have no way of trapping. I suppose something like Director is closest because of its basic language source. Do you know anything about Grasp or other PC applications? It's unlikely I'll ever do advanced programming. ARexx pretty well is my limit. I have wondered if that's a problem. I see my self more as a designer (don't we all???) but my technical "prowess" is not as advanced as I would like. Are the majority of CD engines out there in a lower level language or an authoring system? Will I have to "C" to see? As I mentioned, I have no real idea as to what he is aiming at. We meet on Monday and I'm susposed to present a spec cost analysis for H/W & S/W. He speaks much of marketting and great expectations but not much on substance. It'll be interesting… I'm currently working on one of those specialized applications which may or may not have a commercial market. Seeing as it isn't a paid passtime I am torn as to if I should persevere or drop it and help create an electronic phone book. The phone book would be a great learning experience but I feel there isn't much I can bring to it. On the other hand, not have any real experience is a definite drawback and so I should jump at any opportunity to advance my skills. When you did the Laserdisc what skills did you bring with you? The funny thing about the concept of multimedia is that it attracts all sorts of people. That, if anything, indicates that eventually it will be successful. Is IPG electronic publishing or hardware (Books and things)? BTW,congradulations on your promotion!! I didn't know that Warner & Paramount are in the Biz, although it makes sense. What sort of stuff are the producing and who uses it? Anyway, it's 2 AM so I should probably be on my way. Thanks for your input. Andrew
