Hi Patrick,

 PW> I picked up a copy of Asymetrix's Toolbook 1.0 for OS/2. This product
 PW> was  intended for OS/2 1.2.  It installs and runs but doesn't quite
 PW> work. the  code for the buttons seems to be wrong. Anyone out there

 DM> I'm taking a class at a local technical college, and they have this
 DM> advanced multimedia class which uses this Asymetrix's Multimedia
 DM> Toolbook.  I forget the version of the product.  Unfortuantely, all we
 DM> have is Windows 3.1.   However, an OS/2 version of this would be
 DM> wonderful.

Since you are in Zone 1, you could call Asymetix yourself.
The OS/2 runtime will run books developed in Windows and vice versa,
but I think they have to be for the same toolbook version. IE later
runtime cannot run book developed with earlier version of ToolBook.

 DM> I have just recently begun to use this product.  What is
 DM> so weird about this class is there is NO book for us to use.

I have seen books in a major bookshop, but I'd bet they are 30%
cheaper over there. Our book prices are based on Tippexing out
the dollar sign and typing a pound sign over it. But there's $1.5
to the pound. We are ripped off badly here. Worse, if there is a FREE CD
with the book, we have to pay 17% tax on the BOOK! IE a free CD with
a $30 book will cost is $8!

$30 book costs us UKL30 (= $50), 17% tax = $8.

Any you thought your government was insane :-)
