Storyspace--Eastgate Systems, 800-562-1638, a true bidirectional
hypertext system, $215, discussed by Tom Maddox in Dec. "Locus" (I
think), and discussed a few weeks ago in this group (and in alt.hypertext).

Used by several writers for writing classes, including Robert Coover. 

A new version, 1.3, is due out Real Soon Now. Mark Bernstein, a
principal at Eastgate Systems, Inc., has commented in this group.

: this.

I have ThoughtPattern 1.3 and can say there's no comparison. TP is a
database of sorts, Storyspace is a full hypertext writing system.
Check out David Bolter's "Writing Space" (a book, though a Storyspace
version is also available, from Eastgate, natch) for some screen shots
and discussion.
