With its intuitive, highly visual interface, iShell gives media developers a fast way to create and deliver interactive multimedia apps without having to know a lick about programming. Drag-and-drop your way to awesome, standalone apps that run on either Mac or Windows. It’s like Director, but without the mega learning curve; multimedia development doesn’t get any easier than this! Like Maya PLE (also on the Disc), this is a full version of iShell for you to play with as long as you like, but all output will bear TribeWorks’ watermark. Requires a Power Mac, Mac OS 8.6-9.x, 32MB RAM, 10MB free hard disk space, and QuickTime 4 or later.
