Technical Details

A Generation of Proto-Hypertext Authors was designed as a World Wide Web site at Duke University. All files were created using UNIX or were Macintosh text files converted to HTML format. The hypertext annotations were then added using HTML SuperText, a freeware program for the Macintosh, or by hand using Emacs.

How to Navigate the Project

You may explore the text of the project either by moving through the document one section at a time, or by 'carving it up' by searching through for certain key words. The search mechanism will present you with a fractured version of the text that refers only to the search keywords you enter.

Once you have entered the document, you may navigate by pushing the buttons on the bottom of your screen:

These buttons allow you to move back and forth from section to section.

the Home button returns you to the project home page.

This button returns you to the Index.

Finally, you may return to the Search mechanism.

If a button is grayed out, it is not operational.
