The following updated information and software examples are now available for 
the Metafile for Interactive Documents (MID). MID is a proposed U.S. Navy 
standard for scripting of interactive hypermedia documents (such as IETMs), 
and is an implementation of ISO 10744 (HyTime). It is generally applicable to 
any hypermedia document that needs to be maintained over time, or is developed 
using distributed resources.

General information:

  http://navyvcals.dt.navy.mil/mid/mid.html

An example MID browser (HyMID) can be downloaded, but you will have to have 
Windows95 or WinNT 3.51 to run it. It uses TechnoTeacher's HyMinder(TM) HyTime 
engine in the form of a DLL. There are 2 example MID instances in the package. 
Get it all by following the What's New links from the above URL, or go 
directly to:

  http://navycals.dt.navy.mil/mid/midprod.html

You can also get the demo via anonymous ftp at:
  
  ftp://navycals.dt.navy.mil/pub/ietm/mid/HyMID/


If you would like other detailed technical information that would aid you in 
development of your own MID applications (or help you decide whether you want 
to try), please contact Darlene Janiszewski, MID Program Manager for the U.S. 
Navy. You can reach Darlene by email at: 

  djaniszews@ietm.nawcsti.navy.mil

or by telephone at (301) 862-8429. Please include with the message some basic 
information such as your name, address, organization, telephone, email, and a 
brief statement of your interest in MID (e.g., software development, 
standards, academic). There will be no cost for this information, but you must 
request it.
