I tried sending directly, and bounced somewhere, so here goes.
I personally do not know of any existing systems. However, I have
heard rumours about a system at Brown, and we are contemplating
a hypertext (or at least hypertext-like) documentation system.
It has some unique points (any sytem that deals with the sheer
volume, the number of different environments, and the inflexibility
of the texts we are looking at would have to). On the other hand,
it doesn't exist yet, nor is it an official project here yet. Just
my pet.
	For more information, you can send mail to me.
	Most likely addresses are zwicky@ohio-state.ARPA
	and ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!zwicky but there is
	considerable evidence that other, weirder things 
	also work, possibly (but not definitely) including
	the source address in the header. Mail here is a grand adventure...
