  I asked a similair question at a Multi-Media Seminar in Sydney on the
28-9-92.  Chris Bayley from Macromedia in Australia indicated that :-
 * Macromedia saw the PC-platforms as the main comercial direction for
   future delvery of Multi-Media technology.  Particularly DVI etc.

 * Authorware would appear under WindowsNT etc. Long before Unix if ever!

I would sujest you check-out ICON-Author from AimTech Corporation,
as it is avaiable on many Motif/Unix platforms, and is also icon based
in its approach to building Multi-Media applications.

AimTech Corporation, is at Nashua, NH USA. { Phone (603) 883-0220,
(800) 289-2884,  Fax (603) 883-5582 }

                 Happy Unix Multi-Mediaing!

ICON-Author is "also icon based" but apart from that doesn't compare
very well with Authorware (much as it pains me to say something nice
about the latter). The "icon based" bit is superficial (like saying
that AmigaDOS is a "window-based" interface like the Mac).
