Neuron: The ToolBook Plug-In

Neuron is a browser plug-in or ActiveX control that enables a Web browser to play a ToolBook Instructor or Assistant file (TBK file). Using Neuron and a Web browser, you can take advantage of the full feature set available in TBK files over the Internet. Distributing native TBK files over the Internet using Neuron and a Web browser is one of the multiple distribution options provided with SumTotal authoring products. Neuron works with both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
