How does PC-Hypertext link with other programs?
===============================================
What does it do? Whenever PC-Hypertext finds a program or DOS call in
================ angle brackets, the program saves the current settings
and location information to a file, creates a batch file
to run your DOC/program calls, then exits from memory
while calling the batch file. The batch file runs the
program calls, then reloads PC-Hypertext with all the
current setting and location information. <file18 EXAMPLE>
Why this way? While I could leave PC-Hypertext in memory to speed up the
============= calling process, I use this batch file method to leave
memory totally free for your other programs. This approach
provides users with all of the system memory for their own
application, and eliminates any possibility of memory
conflicts with co-resident programs.
Other formats? While I could include more file types, the program
============== already automatically recognizes eight (8) such formats
(KINDS OF JUMPS <File0A>). Rather than slow down
the speed of the angle-bracket jumps, I've include the
capability to make any kind of hypertext jump desired
with our program-call option.
Other jumps? I'll hint at other types of hypertext jumps -- putting
============ your own batch filename in angle brackets, calling a
program that modifies the links in PC-Hypertext, and
graphic jumps.
Next update? In my next update, I hope to let you mouse-click anywhere
============ on any graphic file displayed to select subsequent graphic
files. NEXT UPDATE <file67>
