-			  ABOUT GNU HYPERBOLE
-		   Designed and Written by Bob Weiner
-			    Version 06.00
-
-GNU Hyperbole is an efficient and programmable hypertextual information
-management system.  It is intended for everyday work on any platform
-supported by Emacs.  It works well on GNU Emacs 24.4 and above.
-
-Hyperbole allows hypertext buttons to be embedded within unstructured and
-structured files, mail messages and news articles.  It offers intuitive
-mouse-based control of information display within multiple windows.  It also
-provides point-and-click access to World-Wide Web URLs, Info manuals, ftp
-archives, etc.
-
-Hyperbole consists of five parts:
-
-   1.  Textual Information Management: an interactive textual
-       information management interface, including fast, flexible file
-       and text finding commands.  A powerful, hierarchical contact
-       manager, the Rolo, which anyone can use is also included.  It is
-       easy to learn to use since it introduces only a few new
-       mechanisms and has a menu interface, which may be operated from
-       the keyboard or the mouse.
-
-   2.  Screen Control: the fastest, easiest-to-use window and frame
-       control available for GNU Emacs.  With just a few keystrokes,
-       you can shift from increasing a window's height by 5 lines
-       to moving a frame by 220 pixels or immediately moving it to a
-       screen corner.  Text in each window or frame may be enlarged
-       or shrunk (zoomed) for easy viewing, plus many other features;
-
-   3.  The Koutliner: an advanced outliner with multi-level
-       autonumbering and permanent ids attached to each outline node for
-       use as hypertext link anchors, per node properties and flexible
-       view specifications that can be embedded within links or used
-       interactively;
-
-   4.  Button Types: A set of hyperbutton types which supply core
-       hypertext and other behaviors.  Buttons may be added to documents
-       (explicit buttons) or recognized by context (implicit buttons).
-       Buttons are accessed by clicking on them or referenced by name
-       (global buttons), so they can be activated regardless of what is
-       on screen.  Users can make simple changes to button types and
-       those familiar with Emacs Lisp can prototype and deliver new
-       types quickly with just a few lines of code;
-
-   5.  Programming Library: a set of programming library classes for
-       system developers who want to integrate Hyperbole with another
-       user interface or as a back-end to a distinct system.  (All of
-       Hyperbole is written in Emacs Lisp for ease of modification.
-       Hyperbole has been engineered for real-world usage and is well
-       structured).
-
-A Hyperbole hypertext user works with buttons; he may create, modify, move
-or delete buttons.  Each button performs a specific action, such as linking
-to a file or executing a shell command.
-
-There are three categories of Hyperbole buttons:
-
-   1.  Explicit Buttons
-          created by Hyperbole, accessible from within a single document; 
-
-   2.  Global Buttons
-          created by Hyperbole, accessible anywhere within a user's
-          network of documents;
-
-   3.  Implicit Buttons
-          buttons created and managed by other programs or embedded
-          within the structure of a document, accessible from within a
-          single document.  Hyperbole recognizes implicit buttons by
-          contextual patterns given in their type specifications.
-
-Hyperbole buttons may be clicked upon with a mouse to activate them or to
-describe their actions.  Thus, a user can always check how a button will act
-before activating it.  Buttons may also be activated from a keyboard.  (In
-fact, virtually all Hyperbole operations, including menu usage, may be
-performed from any standard terminal interface, so one can use it on distant
-machines that provide limited display access).
-
-Hyperbole does not enforce any particular hypertext or information
-management model, but instead allows you to organize your information in
-large or small chunks as you see fit, organizing each bit as time allows.
-The Hyperbole Koutliner and Rolo tools organize textual hierarchies and may
-also contain links to external information sources.
-
-Some of Hyperbole's most important features include:
-
-    Buttons may link to information or may execute commands, such as
-    computing a complex value or communicating with external programs;
-
-    Buttons are quick and easy to create with no programming nor
-    markup needed.  One simply drags between a button source location
-    and a link destination to create or to modify a link button.  The
-    same result can be achieved from the keyboard.
-
-    Buttons may be embedded within email messages and activated from
-    Emacs mail readers; hyperlinks may include variables so that they
-    work at different locations where the variable settings differ;
-
-    Koutlines allow rapid browsing, editing and movement of chunks of
-    information organized into trees (hierarchies) and offer links
-    that include viewspecs which determine how documents are to be
-    displayed, e.g. show just the first two lines of all levels in a
-    Koutline;
-
-    Other hypertext and information retrieval systems may be
-    encapsulated under a Hyperbole user interface very easily.
-
-Typical Hyperbole applications include:
-
-    Personal Information Management
-       Overlapping link paths provide a variety of views into an
-       information space.  A single key press activates buttons
-       regardless of their types, making navigation easy.
-
-       A search facility locates buttons in context and permits quick
-       selection.
-
-    Documentation Browsing
-       Embedding cross-references in a favorite documentation format.
-
-       Addition of a point-and-click interface to existing documentation.
-
-       Linkage of code and design documents.  Jumping to the definition
-       of an identifier from its use within code or its reference within
-       documentation.
-
-    Brainstorming
-       Capture of ideas and then quick reorganization with the Hyperbole
-       Koutliner.  Link to related ideas, eliminating the need to copy
-       and paste information into a single place.
-
-    Help/Training Systems
-       Creation of tutorials with embedded buttons that show students how
-       things work while explaining the concepts, e.g. an introduction
-       to UNIX commands.  This technique can be much more effective than
-       descriptions alone.
-
-    Archive Managers
-       Supplementation of programs that manage archives from incoming
-       information stream, having them add topic-based buttons that
-       link to the archive holdings.  Users can then search and create
-       their own links to archive entries.
