ABSTRACT:
Online presentation of BOOKMASTER based publications on an ASCII terminal. Flat ASCII files are created directly from BOOKMASTER publications and an ASCII browser is invoked. A list of viewable publications is presented to a user. After the user selects a publication, the selected publication is opened and the chapter titles are displayed. After the user selects a specific chapter, the ASCII browser proceeds directly to that chapter and displays the material contained therein. The browser repeatedly retrieves chapters of the publication without restarting the program.
