>I am developing a catalog of courses that is intended to be distributed
>to our clients on diskette. At this point, I am in the "brainstorming"
>stage where I am considering a variety of methods. One that has occurred
>to me is doing the whole thing in HTML and then allowing the client to
>browse the catalog using his/her copy of Netscape.
>The HTML route makes possible the *de rigeur* hypertext links, cross-platform
>compatibility, and the catalog's identical look and feel with a proposed
>web page version. However, some of our more techno-phobic clients may not be
>willing to acquire and configure Netscape in order to view the catalog.
>In fact, I need a solution that is no more complicated than plugging in a
>diskette and entering the executable file name. Of course, I realize this
>probably diminishes the range of platforms the catalog can be used with--
>but if I had to pick one, I suppose it would be Windows (3.1, 95, NT).
>Do any of you know of "catalog-making" software packages that are capable
>of creating stand-alone catalog presentations? (Preferably something
>without a seriously steep learning curve as with many multimedia packages...)
>Thanks.
