To extract, concatenate parts 1 through 5 without any editing into one
file, then filter through the two-line script below.

#! /bin/sh
cat $* | sed '/^END/,/^BEGIN/d'| uudecode

Or manually concatenate all parts, editing out superfluous stuff, then
uudecode.  The result in either case should be an ARC format archive.

This is a repost of PC-Hypertext.  Unfortunately, the previous posting
wasn't a complete archive.  :-(

This is the hypertext program mentioned in John C. Dvorak's Inside
Track column in the May 17, 1988 issue of PC Magazine.  It's kind
of nifty, it's NOT shareware (MaxThink charges for hypertext
creation tools, not for the hypertext reader), but it's also
kind of baroque.  The user interface uses different keys depending
upon what mode you're in, and the display colors vary wildly depending
upon what mode you're in.  It also makes a strong distinction
between roving a "network" and roving ASCII files.  Their network
is a somewhat smarter and smaller hypertext.

It's ok, but nothing to write home about.  Using Freemacs 1.5
(will be posted sometime in May) I wrote a hypertext mode that
works just as well.
