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. Again, this sort of thing could do with a bit more muscle to show that this could be a useful way for the publishers to go - could Becta do this too ? I do not know anything about how 'Macromedia' works, but presumably if they started to support Linux, then Linux versions of the popular CDs would follow. Kevin.
