- How does PC-Hypertext link with other programs?
- ===============================================
-
- What does it do? Whenever PC-Hypertext finds a program or DOS call in
- ================ angle brackets, the program saves the current settings
- and location information to a file, creates a batch file
- to run your DOC/program calls, then exits from memory
- while calling the batch file. The batch file runs the
- program calls, then reloads PC-Hypertext with all the
- current setting and location information. <file18 EXAMPLE>
-
- Why this way? While I could leave PC-Hypertext in memory to speed up the
- ============= calling process, I use this batch file method to leave
- memory totally free for your other programs. This approach
- provides users with all of the system memory for their own
- application, and eliminates any possibility of memory
- conflicts with co-resident programs.
-
- Other formats? While I could include more file types, the program
- ============== already automatically recognizes eight (8) such formats
- (KINDS OF JUMPS <File0A>). Rather than slow down
- the speed of the angle-bracket jumps, I've include the
- capability to make any kind of hypertext jump desired
- with our program-call option.
-
- Other jumps? I'll hint at other types of hypertext jumps -- putting
- ============ your own batch filename in angle brackets, calling a
- program that modifies the links in PC-Hypertext, and
- graphic jumps.
-
- Next update? In my next update, I hope to let you mouse-click anywhere
- ============ on any graphic file displayed to select subsequent graphic
- files. NEXT UPDATE <file67>
