Are cross-file jumps hypertext? <sum06 1 8>
===============================
Jumps between Systems containing many files or nodes, with each
information units containing jumps to other files are often called
================= hypertext <link29>. But, ARE these programs hypertext?
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
Are these │ Gofer -- searches for key words in all files │
products │ AskSam -- searches for key words in all files │
hypertext? │ ZyIndex -- indexes all words in all files │
========== └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
To extend word searches into hypertext, one might:
(1) Sort a book index by page numbers
(2) Make separate files at breaks in the page numbering
(3) Add index cross-references to each of the files.
Active While putting pieces of the index into each file is
Cross-references an improvement over a single-location index, this
================ system does not organize the information into a unified
body of knowledge. See taxonomies <link55>

Linguistic Nevertheless, HyperRez does contain linguistic methods
Hyper-text (i.e., word oriented) of jumping to key words in
========== other files. These methods are:
Hypertext jump
============== <link54 -"methods"> finds first occurrence of "text"
in the defined file.
Text search In constructing knowledge systems, I've created several text
=========== searching programs that automatically build hypertext links.
MATCH -- searches all files for user-entered text matches
MP -- searches all files for defined phrase matches
RMP -- searches all files for key word clusters
While all this sounds grand, I think that good hypertext
anticipates and solves all desired access to information
without the user ever thinking of a need to search text.
