I have a program called Hyperties. It is described as "a powerful, yet
simple, new software tool for organizing and presenting information...
you will be able to link articles and illustrations together [in order
to] browse through them".

The program appears to be a hypertext implementation for the PC. I haven't
used it but I did see a demo. My impression ...it doesn't compare with
Hypercard; stick with HC until something better comes along. It's marketed by
Cognetics Corporation of Princeton Junction, N.J.
