Cross-platform compatibility

I was preparing to author a DVD containing the source .dir files, the Projector, Xtras and Soundscape audio file, when it suddenly dawned on me that this project will ONLY work on a PC, it is not compatible with a Mac.

This is due to the use of the WebXtra component that spawns an internet browser window. It only works with Windows. The group would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

In writing to a DVD I would also like to point out that the program will not run directly off the DVD disc, it needs to be copied to a working directory on the local hard drive (due to the File I/O writing capability).
