HyperTIES is a hypertext system that we're developing here at the UMD
Human Computer Interaction Lab, under Ben Shneiderman's direction.
There is a version for the PC, distributed by Cognetics. (The PC
version of the "HyperText on HyperText" database distritibed by ACM
uses HyperTIES.)  The NeWS version, cties, is not finished yet.  I put
together the news-tape database to keep track of all the software and
authors, to flush out bugs by using it, and to try out a few ideas.
We're still in the process of documenting and implementing it, and
hope to be able to distribute it when it's done. The database is human
readable, and useful enough that I put it on the tape.
