- I just came across a reference in :
- McCracken D.L. and Akscyn R.M. (1984), 'Experience with the ZOG human-computer
- interface system', Int Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 21, 293-310.
-
- The authors refer to :
- Mantei, M (1982), 'A study of disoriention in ZOG', Ph.D. Thesis, University of
- Southern California.
-
- Since Conklin refers to ZOG as a Hypertext System in his survey paper ...
- it would appear to me that Mantei would have written a Ph.D. thesis about
- hypertext before that of Trigg ...
