- Storyspace--Eastgate Systems, 800-562-1638, a true bidirectional
- hypertext system, $215, discussed by Tom Maddox in Dec. "Locus" (I
- think), and discussed a few weeks ago in this group (and in alt.hypertext).
-
- Used by several writers for writing classes, including Robert Coover.
-
- A new version, 1.3, is due out Real Soon Now. Mark Bernstein, a
- principal at Eastgate Systems, Inc., has commented in this group.

- : I'm waiting for Thoughtpattern 2.0 to wander out, too. Seems similar to
- : this.
-
- I have ThoughtPattern 1.3 and can say there's no comparison. TP is a
- database of sorts, Storyspace is a full hypertext writing system.
- Check out David Bolter's "Writing Space" (a book, though a Storyspace
- version is also available, from Eastgate, natch) for some screen shots
- and discussion.
