Interestingly enough, our project is being converted into A-ware for
Windows;  we are using the VGA palatte (for conversion into
Windows--why are there only about fifteen colors, since there is a full
palatte available in Windows--these are the only colors compatable for
both platforms?)

So!  How does this affect the file's journey from Photoshop to Authorware
on a Mac, to Windows, re:  palatte?

May I infer that using images from Photoshop could make it difficult to
get my entire lesson onto a single high-density floppy, where it easily
fits now, even with  drawing object graphics (which slow an LC to a
crawl, so I sure hope the lottery bought the kids 33MHz486s and good RAM)?

Thanks much for your and everyone's advice,
Mark
