Dave: >My pick right off would be that you purchase Astound version 1.5 for Windows. I use it, I love it.< You think 1.5's good, wait till you see Version 2.0, which comes with "Astound Studio"–a bundled collection of element editors. I just finished reviewing it for WINDOWS SOURCES…and I must confess, I like its ease of use. (They sent me a beta version w/out an instruction manual or help screens or templates–slight oversight on their part–and was *still* able to use it to create a presentation w/an hour or so's fiddling around…). >Royalty Free runtime package – self-running.< OTOH, someone else I've talked to on this Forum was less than happy–he said that he bought v.1.5 for the runtime package which the advertising led him to believe was included, only to find out he had to pay extra for that feature. Was that your experience? Tim
