Ron, Thanks for your response. I figured that AVPro would be acceptable because, afterall, it was developed for that. I've seen some impressive presentations done with it (usually on '030s) but I was I was wondering if the quality would be acceptable on the lowly CD32 ('020 & only 2 megs). I was also concerned about the complexity of the applications: does performance suffer as complexity increases? Are hypertext links a special feature to AVPro (as with Helm) or simply buttons with Hilited text. Oh, also will the Pro verion read 1.5 version files? (So many questions, so little processing power 8^), here's some more…) Is Scala capable of being distrubuted? I understood that there was no freely (or otherwise) distributable runtime player. Do they now have one? Also, can one create complex applications with Scala? One further question, if you don't mind please, the client who I am trying to get information for wants some form of full motion video (quarter screen is fine.) How good are 1200s or cd32 at doing that? Thanks for your time. Andrew
