Re: [Ql-Users] hypertext query

2008-08-25 Thread Norman Dunbar

Hi Dilwyn,


Can anyone help with this query I've just received?


Never heard of it - as far as I can remember - on the QL. That's not to 
say that it wasn't a QL program though! Sorry.


Google maybe?


Cheers,
Norman.

Well I tried looking for hypertext +ql or Hypertext +qdos or Hypertext 
+sinclair - nothing of relevance I'm afraid.


Cheers,
Norman.

Dont know if it ever materialised for the QL. There was a program for 
the Atari ST called Hypertext. Perhaps your correspondent was thinking 
of that?

I'm trying to locate information about software I used on a QL in the 
mid-80s. As far as I
remember it was called something 'Hypertext'. It offered hypertext 
jumps in documents and
ran via a C compiler. I'd welcome any information on it that you know 
about or any pointers

to other that might know more.

Dilwyn,
the closest thing to hypertext on the QL (except Lynx, the text mode 
web browser) I can recall is your very own Viewer program - But you 
checked that already, I suppose - It at least has links and embedded 
graphics..

Neither were around in the mid-1980s AFAIK. And my viewer had nothing to do 
with C (it was compiled basic).


The other HTML browsers and readers I can remember are:

Q-Mosaic - on my website (internet utilities page)
Progs html reader, part of the Prowess system
HyperBrowser - Tarquin Mills xhtml text browser.

I think there's also been other programs like Hyperhelp and a few other Help 
utilities vaguely related to this type of software, but none that I can 
think of which relate directly to the query.


Since the person who asked referred to C, I wonder if there was any example 
routine or application which might have been part of a pre-C68 C package, 
for example?
