- HyGlos: Construction speed:
- ===========================
-
- Experienced hypertext developers can create excellent hypertext
- systems using any number of software packages. However, the time
- to accomplish this can vary by factors of 100 to 1. For example:
-
- ASCII files, production speed
- =============================
-
- Experienced hypertext developers use our HyGlos utilities to daily
- convert 100 pages of text into 300 ASCII files, 600 cross-links,
- 500 word glossary, and a 30 screen taxonomy. <link10 1 4>
-
- Graphic hypertext, built by competitors -- Woops!
- =================================================
-
- Trade literature reports typical averages of less than one file per
- hour with hypertext systems that depend on multimedia graphic files.
- Not all pictures are worth a 1000 words or the storage space.
- 95% of knowledge is textual while 20% of craftsmanship is visual!
-
- For developers, construction speed is most important; for users,
- the quality of the construction is most important <link04>.
