The end user simply inserts the autoplay CD, then a Web-like presentation is shown (can autostart with full screen window or several other display options are available). You can include video, music, hyperlinked texts, hot spots, slides, frames, popup windows, any buttons you want: you can launch documents, PDF, self extracting exe files (you can place them anywhere - and... the CD wont ask any confirmations when the end user clicks!), you can show licenses, additional info, etc.
A strong full-text search engine is automatically available to the end user, just in case you plan to edit a new version of the Bible...!
All or part of the presentation pages can be protected with password(s), even different passwords for different users (the CD / DVD is always the same, just the passwords change): the encoding is powerful, 128bit secure. You can also forbid print and copy (clipboard copy and also print screen), and setup an expiry / expiration date.
No hassles, no configuration files, no browsers are needed: the self running CD will perfectly work on all PCs, even if a browser is not correctly installed or if they use Opera, Netscape or Firefox instead of Explorer. You can create a simple custom front end menu as well as a complex CDROM with thousand pages. No code, programming or HTML: you dont need to be a technician. All is visual and our support is outstanding, in case you need it.
