We are developing a large scale Electronic Documentation System for
a number of big organisations (including Unisys Corp.).
 
Our system runs on Unix 386/V, SunOS, and MS-DOS. Also
a version for X is close to completion. We have not considered
OS/2 yet but we are developing an MS Windows version.
 
It is an intelligent Hypertext system which offers
autuomatic crossreference between any number of flat documents.
 
The cross-reference is phrase-based, i.e. the author
has to indicate the phrases/keywords that he wishes
to use for the links.
 
The system is designed to be used both remotely, over modem
lines, or locally, and we have a CURSES based version so any
of the popular "non-intelligent" monitors can be used with
it.
 
The viewing system offers:
- guidance facilities, for example at any time the user
  can examine his/her path through a document and "jump"
  to any of the previous "locations".
 
- automatic index generation. The index contains all the
  references that are defined and can be used for "jumps"
 
- automatic avoidance of cyclic routes. i.e. the system does
  not allow you to move to a location that is already in your
  path.
 
- pattern search on the index
 
- graphical links (in TIFF format).
 
The development environment currenlty works with
plain ASCII files and allows
 
- the xref of any number of files
 
- can detect and record non-accessible definitions
  (defined but not used keyphrases)
 
- report on all links defined in a part of the text
 
- report on all links to a keyphrase.
  etc
 
 
The system is both available for both educational and
commercial uses (although the prices are diff.)
