Hiroaki> Could you kindly clarify what HyperG is?

Information on Hyper-G can be found under

ftp://iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/pub/Hyper-G

In short, Hyper-G is a distributed hypermedia system designed for
maintaining large quantities of documents and links. The Server
maintains a link database, which allows to keep up consistency of the
web and to aid in navigation (e.g. by displaying link maps). There are
many more interesting features which I cannot possible mention here
(see ftp address above).

A Hyper-G server is accessible using WWW (for an example try URL
http://info.tu-graz.ac.at) and even Gopher clients. However, to fully
exploit its potential, you need a Hyper-G client. Two such clients are
available as alpha versions: Harmony (for UNIX/X11) and Amadeus (for
PC/MS-Windows), in addition to a VT100 interface, on above FTP server.

If you should experience problems accessing above FTP server, the
Hyper-G archive is mirrored nightly to

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Networked.Information.Retrieval/Hyper-G

There is a mailing list for information and discussion about Hyper-G.
The developers and maintainers of the system inform the list about new
contents and features, and are in turn interested in user feedback
(such as problem reports, suggestions, wishes, complaints).

Since the list is unmoderated, please avoid sending junk mail and
auto-replies to the list!
