Greetings. I get the feeling I'm about to ask a FAQ - my apologies
to the regular readers of this newsgroup. Usually, I'd spend a couple
of weeks lurking in this group just to get a feel for the general
state of affairs before asking a question - but I'm on a short
timeline so I'll just barge right in :)

I need to do a quick study on the current capabilities of hypermedia 
systems - especially what's available to run on a PC/Mac today.  I'm
especially interested in the multi-media capabilities of such systems -
the ability to store voice/video/graphics etc and access it in real-time
or near real-time through a hypermedia system.

Can any one recommend any good references (journal articles, magazine
articles, books, whatever), products to look at, sources of information,
etc... I'd really be grateful. I've been given a short timeline to 
look into the feasibility of a project based on such systems, so I
need to get up to speed quick.

BTW, about the only hyper-anything I'm familiar with at this point
is HyperCard for the Mac.

Thanks, and sorry for the FAQ.

-Nick

P.S. Is there a monthly "Welcome to comp.multimedia" posting ? If there
is, and someone has a copy, I'd sure appreciate it if they'd fire a 
copy my way...
