The following is information about a prototype system at MCC...

*********************************************************************
		PlaneText- A hypertext prototype
**********************************************************************

An experimental program featuring many hypertext functions has been implemented
by the MCC Software Technology Program in Austin, TX. PlaneText
allows one to create and share information in a non-linear form.  In PlaneText,
data (either text or graphics; voice will be added soon) is stored in nodes; 
pairs of nodes are connected by links. 
Tools are provided for viewing, creating, and editing nodes and 
their links. A browser allows viewing a network of nodes as a graphic structure
as well as providing access to nodes and to the textual viewing and editing
tools. PlaneText also includes components that integrate the system into UNIX 
environments.

PlaneText has been transferred to the participant companies of the Software 
Technology Program and is proprietary to them. The future plans for
PlaneText will be decided by the participant companies. For any questions or 
comments, you may contact Bill Stotesbery (stotesbery@mcc.com), the MCC 
Director of Government & Public Affairs.
