Design & development of the Indexing & Navigational Stacks for BMUG’s QuickTime TV-ROM. This front-end serves as a dynamic library for browsing or viewing each of the 600 MooV and PICT files (and the data specific to those files), offers a navigable keyword index, facilitates copying files to their hard drive, and in general, helps to guide the user through the vast amounts of data inherent on a 600 MB optical disc. Requires CD-ROM drive; Macintosh computer with a 68020 or better processor; hard disk; 2mb of RAM; System 6.0.7 or higher.
The intent of this ROM was to offer copywright-free content by artists that wanted exposure and credit for their work. Ironically one of the authors tried to claim full ownership of the project among our peers.
