Just a note: "MacroMedia" isn't a software product, it's the name of a software company. That company was produced by the merger of AuthorWare and MacroMind/ParaComp (itself the product of a merger). Thus there is no such product as "Macromind Macromedia", while "MacroMind Director" should probably now be called "MacroMedia Director".
