Microsoft Windows 95 Learning System

Whether using our video, CD-ROM or Desktop Trainer 3 platform, users will be able to work right along with the program. Built on a video-based platform, all platform versions are fully interactive. The CD-ROM and DT3 versions include unique features such as Bookmarking, Random Access Help Index, and Quizzes, and they operate right on top of the Windows application, so end-users encounter the actual application environment. Note: none of the versions require the software application.
