HyperRez and other programs                     <sum03 1 4>
===========================

                 HyperRez systems may be independent of or joined with
                 either your operating software or the data manipulated by
                 your software.  Let's look at various hypertext couplings.

Knowledge links  One might view HyperRez as a means of providing rapid access
===============  to desired knowledge independent of knowing the subject,
                 the access technology, or the goal of the search.  <link48>

                 You could build a system that displays regulations for your
                 industry at the touch of a button, independent of the
                 program or data displayed on the screen, such as this one.

Program links    A different view suggests HyperRez as an online-hypertext
=============    help system for one or more programs.  Such systems for
                 delivering specifically desired information within a few
                 keystrokes offer significant advantages over manuals <link46>
                 or classroom training.                     See <link47>

                 For example, the screens you're now exploring contain
                 information to expand skills and ability to successfully
                 use this program (HyperRez).   ......(more)

Data links       A third view of HyperRez uses other programs to organize
==========       or select relevant angle bracket links, which when once
                 displayed allow HyperRez to select subsequent jumps.

                 For example, HyperRez along with a simple database of
                 information with angle bracket jumps provides a rapidly
                 constructed system for quickly accessing complex information.

                 Or, each line description of a complex Lotus spreadsheet
                 might also include an angle bracket jump <link20> to key
                 information, calculations, procedures, or supporting
                 documentation.

Unusual twist    Besides using hypertext to access knowledge, I've seen
                 developers rapidly make hypertext systems simulate the
                 screens, menus, and program actions in the design of
                 complex software, expert systems, and operating systems.

Use HyperRez to:
===============  -  access an independent system of knowledge
                 -  access documentation related to the program in use
                 -  access files using links displayed by other program
                 -  model the choices or operations of complex systems
