I am looking for a way to distribute hypertext documents between Unix systems. I would like to be able to retain the formatting in the documents (e.g. typefaces, sizes, layout), and I would like to be able to build hypertext links within the documents. Options that I am aware of are: FrameMaker: There is a Frame Reader, but there is a per copy licensing fee for the reader which means that I would need to count and limit access to the documents. Aside from that drawback, Frame can handle graphics, formatted text, etc., quite well. Guide Reader: This hasn't shipped yet, and won't for another 6 months or so. Aside from that, it seems similar to Frame in capabilities. Emacs: There is supposedly a set of macroes for emacs which allows one to create hypertext links within documents. There's no formatting to speak of, but it's free and freely distributable. If anyone can give me any pointers here I would appreciate it. Thanks! - Laird Popkin laird@think.com
