Roy and Charles,

PC Computing Magazine sent me a copy of THE BEST OF DOS HELP v3 a long
time ago.

The About... file says that around 1985 Jack Crone and Dan Rollins
formed a company called Flambeaux Software that created software using
Hypertext long before Hypertext became a buzzword.

I thought I'd just jump in and keep the thread going.  ;-)
Thanks.
