- >Particularly in regard to BRS/Search for MS-DOS
- I have no experience of BRS/Search, but I have seen several commercial CD-ROM
- bibliographic products that use it. I believe that Bookbank does. Also, there
- is an HCI CD from Loughborough University which uses it, so someone from that
- institution may be able to help you. I don't think it uses hypertext though.

- Folio has been used here to create online help for student computer users.
- All the Novell online help uses Folio, as do there technical support CDs. So
- you could try using the online help of your local Novell system to see what
- the product can do. I wasn't involved in creating our own help system, so I
- don't know how easy it was to create the links.
