I would have thought the correct answer here would be "depends exactly what

you want to do". The company I work for has just had to produce [technical

reasons] an interactive training package using Director."So what" you say.

Well it took nearly 6 months to program. It takes no more than 6 WEEKS for

me to build the same thing in Authorware.


There are bound to be things that can also be built more quickly in Director

than in Authorware - for example Authorware is less capable (!) at

animations - although there are workarounds.


Sherrie, what exactly are you thinking of putting on the CD?
