- I can only give you some answers concerning IF/Prolog:
-
- For Query 1:
-
- IF/Prolog by InterFace Computer includes a nice Hypertext reference
- manual. It has been built by an automatic conversion process which
- reads plain text (and embedded laser printer PCL commands) and converts
- it to structured hypertext.
-
-
- For Query 2:
-
- In IF/Prolog, we have an interface to OSF/Motif and to
- X11R4 Athena Widgets. Both include a special hypertext widget
- which allows one to show a page on the X screen similar to a laser
- printer and allows one to follow links with special callbacks.
-
- Our interfaces to OSF/Motif and X11R4 Athena widgets are very stable.
- They are used to implement the entire window based development
- environment of IF/Prolog, which is available on a very wide range
- of different hardware platforms. (All 32 and 64 Bit UNIX computers,
- DOS and Windows for 386 and 468 machines and VAX VMS)
-
- Some users of IF/Prolog have already implemented their own
- Hypertext systems with IF/Prolog.
