We are also looking into a multimedia based CAL system for PCs
and it would appear Guide is a good product. I haven't explored
fully its functionality, but I know of a guy at Occidental College
who has used it to develop courseware for philosophy of science.

Guide has an embedded programming language (LOGiiX), support for
full motion video, and what seems to be a strong commitment for
support from OWL. In the documentation, OWL said it would develop
applications for people on a contractual basis.

So if anyone has anything to add, please do so. I myself would like
to hear how you people have used Guide (or anything else) for 
a multimedia CAL system.

Yours for more interactive learning,

Ice.
