- The Future -- Next PC-Hypertext Update
- ======================================
-
- This version of PC-Hypertext is scheduled for replacement in a few months.
-
- While the file format for linking files and nodes will remain unchanged, I
- see a number of additions I'd like to make to the program. For example:
-
- (1) Make PC-Hypertext memory resident for faster DOS/program calls
-
- (2) Include a file editor in PC-Hypertext
-
- (3) Display previous node/file traversal to flag familiar information
-
- (4) Include more graphic formats
-
- (5) Add segment selection on graphic displays (by mouse or keyboard)
-
- (6) Add smooth ASCII screen scroll (horizontal and vertical)
-
- (7) Add video buffers for faster display of graphic files
-
- As with all software design, each of these issues include non-obvious
- penalties (in code size or loading speed).
-
- However, as I do want to extend this software concept, please call me to
- describe both your uses of and desires for additional capabilities in
- PC-Hypertext.
