Hi Geoffrey, As I recall, I downloaded an XDK upgrade a couple of years ago via the Virtual Media website contact page (http://www.vmtech.com/about_us.htm ). There seems to be no mention of Author 2 on this website but perhaps you can find out more by emailing the support addresses. The email giving download details was from www.element5.com<http://www.element5.com/> but doubt that will help you.

It was put together using Republico's Author 2 software. Republico was Virtual Media (which developed HDK) and then became RepubliCorp. The RepubliCorp website looks old and the contact-us link throws up a 404 message. Does anyone know if the company is still around (or perhaps operating under a different name)? I'm hoping I can download a trial copy of Author2.
