- HA HA HA!

- Sorry, this really isn't a flame. I have just never seen this question asked
- by anyone. DOES this information really exist???
-
- Here are my own guesses:
-
- 1) Who knows? The people who use hypertext as a literary medium probably
- number under 50 (and even that may be a generous guess). Of those, probably a
- couple dozen or so are loosely connected and know who each other are.
-
- 2) I know of hypertext software for Unix, Macintosh, and DOS. Though, I'd
- have to say the only GOOD one I've used is Storyspace for the Mac.
-
- 3) I use Storyspace.
