ASCII Hypertext -- Advantages
Hyplus uses angle brackets and ASCII files for these reasons:
Easy .......... Requires only a word processor <link13> to create hypertext
knowledge systems -- and jumps are traceable in printed files.
Compatible .... Most classes of software easily retrieve and use information
contained in a Hyplus system. <link02>
Universality .. With requirements, policies, procedures, descriptions,
specifications, laws, or diagnostics, textual representations
of ideas occur 10,000 times more frequently than do graphical
representations. Hyplus is designed for showing the
organization of textual knowledge.
Speed ......... In construction speed, manual techniques can achieve rates
of 200 files and 500 links per day compared to the maximum
of five screens per day with graphical hypertext. With
automatic abstracting software, construction rates are
magnitudes higher. For example, I once built 50,000 hypertext
links in three hours (converting a database to hypertext).
