I am desesperately looking for references on how to implement an hypertext
"system" for my senior project. Are there any algorithms available to the
"general public" ? What approach should I take ? I am thinking in doing
the implementation in C++. Is C++ proper for this type of project ?
Any help, will be greatly appreciated ?

Try Ted Nelson's book, "Literary Machines" (or is that Literacy Machines --
don't have the book in front of me). It is a few years old, but goes into the
construction of Project Xanadu and the algorithms used. I had difficulty
following it at times, but in general its very good.
