I'm so excited to know that the 1990s #hypertext software #Guide is on its way from Malawi to #HofUniversity, Germany. Many thanks to Margaret Ngwira for providing me with the discs. I will keep you updated.

The development of Guide starts in 1982 at the University of Kent. Peter Brown has a first version running on a workstation one year later. In 1984 the British company Office Workstations Ltd. (OWL) gets interested and releases a Macintosh version in 1986. Soon thereafter Guide is ported to IBM-PCs. Guide becomes the first popular commercial #hypertext system.
