Low cost hypermedia authoring with the microsoft windows multimedia viewer publishing toolkit

Abstract

Recently, Microsoft launched version two of its Multimedia Viewer Publishing Toolkit thereby facilitating the low-cost authoring of hypermedia systems for the Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) on personal computers. This toolkit has the following advantages: it is cost-effective, produces fast and professional results, and makes good use of the Windows GUI entirely without programming. But it is still necessary to investigate the full integration of multimedia into existing hypertext glossaries and thereby to assess further strengths and weaknesses of these tools and techniques.
