- Re: Intermedia Alternative
-
- I'm told that Brown replaced Intermedia with Storyspace from Eastgate
- Systems, Inc. PO Box 1307 Cambridge Ma, 02238, 800-562-1638.
-
- For free they sent me a demo disk w/o documentation and for $10.00
- (applicable to purchase) they sent me a manual with lots of minor
- errors and unclearnesses. Documentation is not this outfit's long
- suit.
-
- I liked the program. At the touch of a mouse button it squirts out
- "cards" or storyspaces each of which is named (by you) and can hold
- 6500 words. Story spaces may be placed inside one another. Another
- tool allows lines to connect spaces in a given order. Documents may
- be viewed as storyspaces, outlines or charts. Paths through the
- document may be built by the author and conditions set for users navigating
- the document. Storyspace also tracks one's progress through a document.
-
- One especially nifty feature is that a reader may attach notes to
- any storyspace without marring the text.
-
- The authors of the program leave all font and formatting questions
- to your fave dtp program.
-
- There's more, but I suggest you see for yourself. The program
- sells for $295 or $125 to educational purchasers. Site licenses
- are available.
