A multimedia application authoring platform created by Macromedia. It
allows users to build applications built on a movie metaphor, with the
user as the "director" of the movie. (Wikipedia)

Probably the most significant release of Director to this point,
Director 4 introduces a number of features such as lists, parent
scripts, compiled and protected Lingo, and more. It is also the first
version of Director to use a cross-platform, single-forked file format
that can also be used on Windows machines (with previous versions of
Director, you had to convert movies into a format suitable for Windows
playback using the "Gaffer").

 * Top DL: Director 4.0 original floppy disk release

 * 2nd DL: Director 4.0.4 68k updater for the floppy disk release

 * 3rd DL: Director 4.0.4 CD-ROM edition in Disk Copy 6 NDIF format,
   with PDF manuals, goodies, sample content and a 68k/PowerPC FAT
   binary version of Director 4.0.4

 * 4th DL: A collection of Director 3.1 and 4 examples from (defunct)
   [macromedia.com's Director Resources page][1]. Zip archive,
   containing BinHexed StuffIt self-extracting archives, BinHexed
   StuffIt archives, a BinHexed Compact Pro file, and a BinHexed
   Director project

 * 5th DL: XObject Developer's Kit 1.2 for [THINK C 6][2]. Last
   release of the XObject Developer's Kit, should work as far back as
   Director 2.0.

If you are installing the floppy disk release of Director 4.0, in
order to prevent any inconvenient disk requesting, you must mount all
the 10 disk images first and then run the installer.

Also included as a bonus is a separate download of the 68k version of
the 4.0.4 updater. When this update is applied, you can also make
PowerPC-native and fat binary projectors. This is not necessary if you
are running the CD-ROM version, which unlike the patched 4.0.4 is also
accelerated for Power Macintosh.
