> Off the top of my head, I might suggest Director
Why, that's Marc Cantor's old program -- saw him demo that years ago at
the SF Computer Faire (circa 1985)
I sat through the preso and found these limitations
1) Mac and Win only
2) no real good DB capability
3) orientation wrong for what I want to do
It seems that director would be very good to publish a CD/DVD with the
results of the apps I want to write -- rather than use director to
write the apps themselves

Ill look at these, but think that some would be a step backwards.
