Howard,

Strangely IIRC hypertext was a big British thing.  I had a company that=20
sold software from 1984-1992 and  I can't count how many hypertext=20
application writers  from GB who approached us as a possible=20
distributor. We sold some packages I now don't remember the name of.  In=20
that light Sir Tim Berners-Lee's  =20
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee> work is understandable=20
and that it was destined to be someone British that would come up with=20
this. I don't know if it was written by a Britt but I think that there=20
was some hypertext application on the Apple machines that was quite=20
successful at the time.


Cheers
/Ake
