Pardon my confusion, but what exactly do you mean by "The full alternative
text"? Last I checked, alt text is alt text... are you referring to the alt
attribute and the title attribute? In the case of your query, why not
something like alt="softwareprogram icon" title="A program that produces
accessible client side image maps".

usually a URL or code sample would make things easier here.
