Any tools similar to Click2Learn Toolbook for Mac

[Tim Murray]

Subject line says it in a nutshell. I have Adobe GoLive, but I need the
tools that Toolbook provides, like putting input into dialogs and text into
fields.

Hey, Tim

Thought I'd mention that bit.listserv.toolb-l seems to be a more
active newsgroup for ToolBook. You might be more likely to get a
response there.

Hello,

Yes this newsgroup is good but everybody is not accepted , I was refused and
I don't know why

Very funny... Probably english humour, the best I presume

Don't despair, everyone here feels the same way as you do at times.

This is a public forum, so there are all kinds of people here, even
brain damaged idiots like "enough".

I did not see your first post. Many folks here do not receive any
responses to their posts for various reasons. I see many posts going
unanswered.

One of the reasons people don't respond is that they are just plain
lazy. They don't want to take the time and trouble to respond to a
post, unless it is about a subject that they are interested in.

I myself have not used anything like Click2Learn, don't even know what
it does. I assume it is some sort of interactive learning document or
application?

You failed to identify what you considered funny.

It's a tool on the order of AuthorWare. You can record screen activity and
include interactive functions like ... well, www.click2learn.com can tell
you a lot more (and more accurately) than I can.

I use VirtualPC and it's lacking in the speed area, so I was hoping to do
the later video and interactive editing in a Mac program.

I visited the click2learn website, and got the impression that they
made software like "Toolbook" which caters to the electronic learning
industry.

Got the further impression that their software and services were
strictly for the use of large companies, to train or re-train their
employees.

That was just my impression from a quick look, could be wrong.

About your recording of screen activity, then later editing the
recording - - - very interesting.

I use a computer remote-control application called "Timbuktu" in order
to record screen activity on Macs and PCs, but never yet tried editing
the recording.

Think I will contact Netopia and ask them if the recording can be
edited.

It *IS* Toolbook (see subject line)

I used Timbuktu a lot, many years ago but have not upgraded in a long time.
I did not know they could record screen activity.

Yes, I have recorded full-screen sessions myself, for future playback.

Keep in mind this recording is merely a _visual_ record of what is
displayed onscreen, and has nothing whatever to do with controlling a
distant computer.

According to Netopia, the creator of Timbuktu, it is saved as a
full-screen QuickTime movie. I asked them if it could be edited, and
they said that they did not think so.

I myself think that any QuickTime editor should be able to edit it.

I would try it, but I don't know where to get hold of a QuickTime
editor.

I use the most recent version of TB2, version 6.0.1 (dual-pack for Macs
only) - which I upgraded to version 6.0.3 via a download from Netopia.

The Mac-to-PC versions might have different version numbers.

You can do some light editing in the full QuickTime program; for more
extensive editing, you have iMovie.

Thanks, sounds like iMovie, or perhaps even some other much more
heavyweight QuickTime editing app' is what I am looking for.

(assuming someone else has a competitive app' like iMovie)
