Let's hope the project doesn't go the way of the CD Rom--which I have,
by
the way, in French. Sales were disappointing, so the English version
was
never released. The problem there was probably the target market,
because
it's a clever product--well done if not exactly perfect.

The controversy over NTSC conversion, and the estate's decision
regarding official versions, may well have hurt sales among the core
clientele.

Is the conversion problem relatively easy to fix? I'm assuming the
versions problem is intractable.

What CD-Rom are we talking about?

It's a CD-Rom presenting a fair amount of information about Chaplin
and his films in an entertaining way. It's extremely attractive in
design, including (of course) a large number of images as well as
text. I picked it up about five years ago.
