>I mean forget of using it directly :) Its ideas are still good but (IMHO) the implementation was dog slow, also some approaches (for example the menus) were so complicated that each time you return to that part you need to refresh you memory how it really works before you will be able to make the changes.

Nick;

You are so right - it was very slow. I arranged to get about four dozen copies of Codebook for members of our user group. Several of us were serious about using the concepts. Also, I attended the Flash Road Show, November 1995. We had many problems trying to get it to work, so, as I recall, Phil (from Flash), sent a 17 page letter via e-mail to Leslie, explaining how to "easily create a Codebook project". It was not easy, but it was a learning experience! The good thing is that the week long training class took place at Fishermans Wharf, in San Francisco.
