[comp.text] hypertext, what is?

allard@bnl.ARPA (rick allard) (11/03/87)

What is hypertext?  In another article someone dropped this name; (the
question was about something else).  And now I see it is the subject
of a Friday morning talk at the Fourth Forum on Computer Systems for
Documentation, starting tomorrow at Gurney's Inn out at Montauk.
"...revolutionary new form...extensive research in universities..."--I
am going to go over to the library and look, but can someone shed some
light?

thanx, Rick

See IEEE Computer 9/87 pp. 17-41: "Hypertext: an introduction and
Survey" by J. Conklin.
