Harmony, the client for Unix/X Window systems, shows off Hyper-G's impressive naviga
tion features.
In the
multiwindow screen shown on the left (a)
, the window at bottom right shows a search for "what's new," with a list of found objects of different types. Top right shows an object from that list, a text with anchors. Top left is the Harmony session manager, which pinpoints the position of the found object relative to the collection hierarchy. Behind it is the local map; it shows the link structure around the current document, which is highlighted in all views.
In the
multiwindow screen shown on the right (b)
we can see that with its native clients, Hyper-G supports an even greater variety of document types than Mosaic does. Here we can see the different types: a film (bottom right window), a PostScript document (bottom left), and a 3-D object in Virtual Reality Markup Language (top right). Note the hypermedia links in the PostScript and 3-D objects. Links in films, images, and sounds are also possible (but not shown here).

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
