I want to implement a hypertext system as a simple database "navigator".
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at KPWin from Knowledge
Gardens, and was not terribly impressed - the demo was buggy and the
expected performace is poor. Are there any other systems out there?
Preferably cross platform, but especially Windoze/DOS oriented. I know
Windows and OS2 help systems make hypertext authoring possible, but I am
interested in having more control, and incorporating it more closely with
the rest of the application. The "database" of interest is 95% text, and
does not change with time. Is there a VBX that can do this?
Thanks,
Van

Hi,

Download a demo of HLPDK 11.0 from garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/programming or
oakland:/pub/msdos/hypertext as hdk110a.zip, hdk110b.zip and
hdk110l.zip. The product supports several platforms (dos, windows,
os/2, desqview/x, www etc..), and some of the platforms are based on
a paradox database. You can purchase the sources to the paradox
readers, that are built using the paradox engine.

There is a half page review of it in the last Paradox Informant.

Hope this is of some help.

Ron.
