Early last weeek I posted a question to this group and received responsed
from 2 people, one person was just saying that he was forwarding my
message.  Thank you both for responding; but, I was hoping for more
input.  With hope that most of you did not respond because others were
likely to have the same suggestions as you, I will post the original one
more time:

>This is more of a CBT question than it is a multimedia question...

>We have been charged with developing some training modules for some text
based information >systems.  We want to be able to target both
IBM-compatible and Mac platforms at the low end.  >The low end being XT's
and SE's respectively.
>
>Are there any authoring packages that seem ideal for this situation?
>
>Thank you in advance.

The suggestions I have received include:

Guide (or is it Guide 2?)--Mac and IBM capable, requires Windows on IBM,
probably the easiest to learn/use

Authorware (I already have Authorware for the Mac)--Mac and IBM capable,
requires Windows on IBM, moderate ease of use, more capable/flexible than
is Guide.

cT ( by Falcon Software ; originally Carnegie Mellon U?)-- Mac and IBM
capable, no WIndows needed, more difficult to use (authoring lanquage not
an authoring system), more capable/flexible than either Authorware or
Guide.


The requirement for Windows is not a good one: not loew-end enough. But
if we end up at that level, we will probably chose Authorware, since we
already own the mac half and are familiar with it.

Please respond if you have not already done so...

thanks in advance
