The HyperTextBook represents a new way of presenting information for educational purposes. By clicking on keywords (either in a special keyword list or in the body copy of the text) the user can instantly jump to a related piece of information. The Hyper
TextBook allows a user to type in a word or string and search for any other linked articles. Iverson's proprietary linking technology has been in use since early 1988, but these new products represent the first major use of this technology in information
publishing.
HyperTextBooks are intended to be used as a compliment to an existing curriculum, rather than function as a replacement for other resources. "A typical HyperTextBook is made up of information 'nuggets' on a particular topic," says Jeff Iverson. He contin
ues, "the user can explore many different paths between these information nuggets and, in the process, learn about related items that they might not have searched for in the first place." The Anthropology HyperTextBook covers 280 topics related to each
other and to the study of anthropology.
Initially offered in HyperCard 2.2 Stack or Stand-Alone format, Iverson is exploring the possibilities of developing Windows compatible versions. The software will run on any Macintosh running System 6.0 or above. The products are priced at $30.00 for an
individual user, $150.00 for a class/lab license, or $600.00 for a site license. Demos are available for $5.00 or may be downloaded from AppleLink, America Online, or CompuServe.

Hello, Mac food lovers!
This small Mangia! file contains all of the food recipes (28) found in
"The Bacardi Party Book," produced by Bacardi & Company, Ltd. (printed
about 1981; not copyright indicated). The recipes are from the "Cold Hors
d'oeuvres," "Hot Hors d'oeuvres," "Entrees," and "Desserts" sections of
the book. Because food recipes make up less than half of the books
content (cocktails, etc. make up the rest), I also included those recipes
>From the "Punches" (7) and "Eggnog" (3) sections. Also in the file as
"recipes" are the texts from "Which Bacardi for What?" and "It all starts
with Bacardi" just to keep with the spirit of the book. They file at the
top and are marked with asterisks. No single drinks (except single
eggnog...try it!) are included. They may be added at a later date if
there is interest.
Included in this binhexed Compact Pro archive are this text and the recipe
file itself. The recipe file may contain some ingredients that aren't in
the "standard" Mangia! dictionary and the source is definitely NOT there.
Don't worry, Mangia! is intelligent enough to update your dictionary on
This is a collection Chinese literature works. It is also a set of HyperCard
stacks for you to organize, edit-view, or get to a particular entry very
easily, or let you show off to your friends of this great Chinese treasure :-)
These 20 or more stacks contain the poems or posting
from recent postings on "Chinese Poem Exchange and Discussion List"
(CHPOEM-L@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu), or from various collection.
The basic thing these stacks can do is to edit, input - output text file,
dump the while stack as text file (which can be read in to rebuild
the entire stack. or read by PC users), and indexing. i.e.,
(1) edit Chinese text;
(2) output it a text file, for you to post or used as backup, or in my
favorate way: let it scroll on the screen when the Mac is idling (by
AfterDark Scroll module).
(3) read in a text file.
(4) Create index for the whole collection, thus you can jump to a
particular poem just by a click.
(5) If I add more feature in the future version of this stack, you can
dump out your old collection into text, then read it back it into a new
stack template to rebuild a new collection.
etc. (see the ChineseCollection.readme file for detail.)
You should have the Chinese System or Chinese Script installed in your
Macintosh to use this stack.
Enjoy!
