Summary: Electronic Arts is working on it


	Hi, my name is Mitsu Hadeishi and I work in the CD-I Development
Group at Electronic Arts.  We are also working on an authoring
system for CD-I, and we have been in communication with Sun to
help standardize file formats, etc., although our efforts are
separate.  We completed a simple CD-I emulator in October which we've
been using to test product concepts and to flesh out the issues of
CD-I software/product design, and we shall be getting a reference
prototype from Philips by April of this year on which to begin full-blown
development efforts.
