PCjs Machines

Wordprocessors, databases and spreadsheets all manipulate and structure
information in specific, but different ways.  Hypertext systems, such as
BLACK MAGIC, enable you to expand information in another way -- by
dynamically linking keywords, graphics and blocks of information to one
another.

For example, you are creating a document and need to define a concept or
word but the detail of the definition would distract the reader from the
main text.  You can tag a keyword that will indicate that the definition
is available.  An area of the screen opens and you type the definition
or explanation.  To explore the definition, the user triggers the tag
and the reference is displayed.  This is a simple illustration of
hypertext.

BLACK MAGIC can shell to DOS, and link and transfer information between
hypertext and other applications.  Build context-sensitive help systems,
link specific items in text documents to technical drawings or
illustrations and expand obscure references with detailed explanations.
A screen grabber has been added to integrate graphics into BLACK MAGIC.
The extended ASCII character set is supported for the use of
international characters.

If you are currently using a document generator for live electronic
documents such as:  computer-based training guides, foreign language
tutorials, interactive catalogs, or educational courseware, then you
should be moving over to BLACK MAGIC hypertext writing.  You will find
BLACK MAGIC to be more than you ever imagined.
