Guide was originally written on UNIX by Peter Brown at Kent University,
Canterbury, UK. He sold the rights to Owl to produce the Mac and PC
versions. Peter Brown retains the rights to the UNIX version, and is
continuing development work on it.

An argument which seems to be appearing is the "which is better, HyperCard
or Guide?". This seems to be completely futile as they are both aimed at 
different areas in the hypermedia field. Guide is _much_ faster than HC.

ICL, a division of STC plc, has used the UNIX Guide program to implement
a help desk system. This system has been very well recieved by its many 
users as it is very user friendly (not programmer friendly though). The 
system has generated much interest throughout the company and externally,
as people realise the benefits of help desk systems.
