Well, for a BIG publisher, i guess you mean someone like Msoft? As for a popular publisher, like Xiphias, that big capital investment, plus paying programmers and artists to climb another learning curve, is VERY prohibitive. Most CD-ROM publishers (and wantabees) are small houses. Corporations are watching these technologies as a way to do in-house training and Eductational SW. (the whole ed. sw market is very expense sensitive) Buying into CD-I also requires dealing with a MAJOR buracracy – PIM. No such problem with CDTV, just lack of marketing. JI
