suite of programming tools which allows unrelated end-users of commercially available multimedia authoring tools to connect directly to each other over a global computer network bypassing a centralized server, enabling communication and linking of CD-ROM titles to remote content servers, thereby permitting downloading of subject-specific text and images, multi-player gaming, chat, avatar telepresence, team workgroup environments, and other network features to be built into interactive CD-ROM titles and web sites
