All,

The latest version of Fujitsu's "HyBrick" browser, V0.8, with support for XLink/XPointer, is now available from Fujitsu's Web site:

http://www.fujitsu.co.jp/hypertext/free/HyBrick/download2.html.

The browser and supporting documentation can be downloaded by clicking on hb.08.exe.

This is a Japanese-language site, so much of the supporting documentation won't be accessible to non-Japanese readers. A brief summary:

Features:

HyBrick includes a DSSSL renderer and XLink/XPointer engine running on top of SP and Jade
XLink/XPointer are supported on the local file system
XPointer is implemented as a subset of the HyTime property set
Link traversal can use either "New" or "Replace" to display a new page

Using HyBrick:

HyBrick is supplied as a self-extracting file.
Once the files are installed, start HyBrick from the bin directory.
Use the "Browse" button to open the file sample\docs\readme.xml.
Click on blue-highlighted areas with the left mouse button to see a list of locations linked to the highlighted location. If only one location is available, traversal to that location is immediate.
Click on blue-highlighted areas with the right mouse button to see the location of that area expressed as an XPointer.

Note, 1998-11-06. The latest version of HyBrick, V.08, with XLink/XPointer support, that I announced a few days ago, is now available from FSC's Web site: http://collie.fujitsu.com/hybrick/. This version has an English-language menu, but is otherwise identical to the version on Fujitsu's Web site in Japan. I have also added some files to the distribution to show more of HyBrick's formatting capabilities. - Ralph E. Ferris, Fujitsu Software Corporation (FSC).
