What exactly is it for? ie who are the target audience?
are we talking about the type of people who are on this list or are we talking about people who'd ring up an ISP saying 'my internet isn't working' when they haven't even checked to see if the modem lights are still on?
Because you don't want to waste time on unecessary security when something pretty basic would do.
You could always write some code where the questions and answers are stored in DIFFERENT hashes... with some algorithm that converts the value for the question to the key for the answer in the other hash (and where those keys and values are just random strings). Then even if they COULD see the answers they wouldn't know which questions they were for... (and I am imagining that if computer testing is being used the answers would have to be pretty simple... eg multiple choice or something)
OR you could just have all the questions and answers in a pre-compiled binary module that you wrote in C or something... so no plain text on the CD.
but even windows implements some kind of user permissions on files doesn't it? maybe that could be used somehow.

Friend has to make a training video that will run off a CD on on P3s running Win2K.
Involves text, images(jpeg) movies (quicktime), animations (flash), inter-active questions and a final formal inter-active test which needs to be secure.
He is going to produce a lot of this with Mac OSX and software.
My guestion is about the glue that holds it all together.
I know it all could be done with HTML, but I don't think this meets the security needs (aka, the test can not be fiddled).
ATM, a sub-contractor is suggesting Adobe In-Design to produce it all in Java.
1) (non-linux) Can anyone tell me if this is abad idea and why and have anyother suggestions.
2 (linux) Can anyone make any recommendations on opensource to produce it or to run it.
I've just become the general dogsbody that has to solve all the technical problems {:-(.
If he was going to offer it on-line (WWW), what would you recommend?
