Nexus and LinksWare may not be redistributed for profit without the express written consent of the author. Hello, and welcome to your free copy of NEXUS, the hypermedia program for the Apple GS. Nexus is the GS twin of LinksWare, available on the Macintosh. (LinksWare is $49.00.) This is the exact same commercial program that won rave reviews and an A+ Editor's Choice. Nexus (& LinksWare) allow you to link together standard text, graphics and sound files. (LinksWare also supports AppleScript, QuickTime movies and formatted word-processor files.) There is no need for you or your students to learn new graphic or authoring software: just use the files and programs you already have. Using Nexus, you can open a text document, click on the word 'elephant' and Nexus will automatically retreive and display a picture of an elephant (or more text about elephants, or play the sound of an elephant.) This is all done without importing the files, changing their format or even altering them in any way! Use it for interactive fiction; mul;timedia based education and so on. The limit is the imagination. There are 4th graders using these programs...and LinksWare is in use at major colleges and universities, as well as corporate and governmental agencies. 3 stars in MacWeek and MacUser. The world is finally coming to multimedia, and Nexus and LinksWare have been reviewed as the easiest to learn and use. Please note that I am no longer providing support for the product, since I no longer have a GS, nor do I have access to one. On the other hand, Nexus has been in use for four years, and there has been only one bug report during that entire time. (Under some circumstances, the monitor's black border may change color.) This is a very simple program with virtually unlimited use. Enjoy. Tracy Valleau author Nexus/LinksWare
