I don't know all the answers, but I have some clues.

Chipwits was written by BrainPower, Inc. I think they are now extinct
(unfortunately for all of us, IMHO). Two years ago they wrote a very neat
hypertext editor called ArchiText, which was powerful, but had a few
MacFlaws (e.g., Undo didn't work). I waited and waited for a new version,
then eventually tried to track them down and found out they had
disappeared. If anybody knows anything about either of these programs, or
where I could get a hold of the authors, I'd be grateful.
