about Voyager Expanded Books

[Jim Carwardine]

The last time I had anything to do with Voyager was at MacWorld in  
San Fransico about 1991 or 92 when I was showing my new electronic  
book app called BookBuilder, built in Hypercard, to anyone who would  
look ( and buy it).  I showed it to Bob Stein at his booth and he  
said, "I can't look at this.  This looks just like what we are  
doing."  I actually used it to create multimedia learning  
presentations at a local university in about 1995.  Since switching  
to Rev, I've been tempted to convert BookBuilder but there were XCMDs  
and old gear (optical disks that were the size of LPs, that I haven't  
bothered.  Maybe it will sell now!... Jim
