Anyone who is wondering how HyTime hyperlinking is different from
HTML linking should run, not walk, to http://www.techno.com/HyBrowse.html
and download and evaluation copy of HyBrowse, a Win95/WinNT HyTime browser
that provides unique features for styling the look and behavior of 
HyTime independent links.  It's very cool.  It is free for a 45-day
evaluation, after which time it would be polite to pay the 35.00 $US 
asking price (it's certainly well worth it).

In addition to the sample documents on the TechnoTeacher site, I've posted
the source for the slides of the talk on SUBDOC I presented at SGML '96
(which I presented using HyBrowse) on the ISOGEN Web site at
"http://www.isogen.com/demos". Included in the package are the necessary
HyBrowse style sheets and some brief instructions on how to run the demo. 
It demonstrates using ilinks and associated styles to impose a slide-show
structure and presentation behavior onto a normal document consisting of
normal techdoc nested divisions.

I will be putting up some additional demos, including one for doing
editorial review and display using ilinks, in a week or so as I'm able to
get them going and sufficiently documented.

NOTE: HyBrowse is intended as a tool for creating prototypes and demos of
HyTime features.  It is not intended to be a production-quality information
delivery system.  The formatting features are minimal compared to Panorama
or DynaText but sufficient to demonstrate the very interesting things you
can do with independent links and anchors thereof.  If you've been thinking
of ways that HyTime hyperlinking could solve some of your information
management problems but never had a way to realize or test those ideas, now
you do, for free.  Very cool.

Dr. Macro says "check it out."
