It is not surprising that the CD-ROMs you were looking at only contain digital files of the text books. This is fairly typical, as publishers have not really been taking advantage of the interactive features the medium has to offer.
THere are other stand-alone CD-ROMs for teaching and learning French, and I suspect those will be different from thos CD companions to the text. Please see if you could evaluate some of these stand-alone products and see how they differ. Thanks

Update:
I have analyzed all of the material that Professor McCrindle has provided me (textbooks and a number of accompagning CD-ROMS.)
I was my intent to look to them for critique and analyze the CD-Roms, to gather a comprehensive understanding of any lackings, whether poor interface, design, etc..area's to be improved upon, with New Media elements.
To my suprise the CD-ROM's offered no interface or interaction. They were simply a CD-ROM with a folder containing a list of .pdf files or .wav files.
I will now look outside of the French CD-ROM's for my study.
Side note, if this really is the French market right now, my project will hopefully challenge it.
