Request for information:  DOS Hypertext applications
 
Does anybody out there know of a program, shareware or commercial, that
can do hypertext and support a bit of animation at the same time?
 
I've tried Alchemy Mindworks' Storyteller, which would be fine except
no animation support, no shelling to dos for freestanding animations,
and will not work from the keyboard; I've tried sandwiching it into
IBM Storyboard, which supports enough animation and can call Storyteller
from within its own Storyteller (yes, they use the same name for one of
the Storyboard Live sub-modules), but thereby limits the navigational
structure; IBM Storyboard cannot be used on its own as the material is
90% text and storing it as bitmaps is of course impractical; and before
you say "Toolbook" I should mention that I don't want this to run under
Windows because the target users have a wide variety of not-so-recent
computers... Any advice would be greatly apreciated!
 
Thanks.
