Authorware 4 Interactive Studio
Strong Suite for Multimedia Mavens

The suite features Authorware 4, Director 6, Backstage Enterprise Edition, xRes 3 and the SoundEdit/Sound Forge XP audio production tool. Internet/intranet authoring features include comprehensive Shockwave integration for Authorware and Director, ActiveX support, network ODBC support and data tracking, and Oracle video server support.
