Anybody remember the "illuminated" text series by robert able for IBM? I was the lead interface designer for the first prototype built around the poem "ulysses" (tennyson). I think i remember the programming done in toolbook though afterwords i purchaced supercard and reverse enginered it in less than week (my first programming!... Dont tell bob!). We churned through 1.5 million $ in less than a month. Lots of film and graphics. One of the first uses of video in a portal of window. I think much of the later works in this genre veered towards shovel-ware.

If that's what he said then it would have been 1992. I programmed the
Expanded Books during October and November 1991, and another
programmer finished off a couple of features, ready for the release
of the first three EBs at that MacWorld.
