I use a HYPERtext system on my Unix based Sun.  It is point and click
and I like it just fine.  I think that HYPERtext should not be the
issue, the issue is using a media for standard definition which is itself
not a standard!  Assuming that anything on PC DOS is by default a
standard is absurd.

Find a system that will run on a standard like X.  Then there will be
a larger acceptance of electronic text as a standard's documentation
system.

PS the system I use is called KMS (Knowledge Management System). It
was documented in July'88 Communications of the ACM.  It will be
available for X.
