The aim should be any application for any platform, which is becoming the goal for the corporate world.
Many CD Rom titles that my kids use, support Windows 3.1, 95, NT and Macs. They tend to use Macromedia - so I would guess that there would not be a large investment in their time to provide the "viewing software" for Linux too - after all the same data is already used for various flavours of Windows and Macs - but I have asked various people (DK, Tivola, etc) about Linux support and always draw a blank.
IMO it was Acorn's failure to port Macromedia Director and hence the diminished support for new CDs which initially damaged that platform. Linux may suffer also unless there is a port of Director. Remember that Microsoft is a substantial shareholder in DK. -- Martin Devon Stonar
