  12. Does anyone have recommendations for tools which allow one to create custom
  13. computer-aided-instruction (CAI) applications for training on GUI-based
  14. software?  The instruction application must allow the student user to "test
  15. drive" the subject application under a variety of scenarios; the CAI software
  16. cannot merely provide a canned demonstration of the package.
  17.  
  18. I found two products in Sun's Catalyst catalog:  "Authology" from CEIT
  19. Systems, and "CAST" from Master Class Corporation.  Does anyone have
  20. experience with either of these packages?
  21.  
  22. Finally, could "expect" or something similar be used to concoct a CAI
  23. application in a windowing environment?
