We're not talking about graphics or HTML here. I'm talking about Authorware

who work with Macs, getting them to carefully test several hours worth of
training that I have never at least given a cursory check of on the Mac
myself would be stupidity.

OK, I'm fishing around there web site as I type. Seems a reasonable place to
