FRESS, File Retrieval and Editing SyStem [Dam, 75.].

FRESS, like NLS [Engelbart, 73], has cross- reference facilities that allow any part of a document to reference or actually access any other part of It or another document. It has been used in large document preparation [Strandberg, 76.], including the preparation of a richly interconnected, multi-author "communal text" [Cateno, 79.].data structure. Pictures are displayed through calls to a 2D graphics package [Trent, 80.] based on the proposed CORE graphics standard [GSPC, 79"]. (presenting complex computer-based documents, steven feiner, sandor nagy, andries van dam, 1981, acm)

their work on "an integrated system for creating and presenting complex computer-based documents" was supported in part by the office of naval research and strongly influenced by fress.

We envision a portable maintenance aid for the 1990's in the form of a suitcase-sized device containing a high-resolution color screen for the display of pictures and text, a touch-sensitive overlay, voice input/output, and a mass storage device [Gurwitz, 79]. Sophisticated repair and test equipment would be built into (or directly interfaced to) the system. Thus, the technician's role would be minimized, whenever possilble, to mechanically attaching test leads to equipment and operating automated repair equipment.

inquiry (thanks to steven)

and darmstadt at least has a sonderbare beuys exhibition. a zoo/nature exhibit with texts written by teachers in the 50s or before and wonderful, really wonderful sculptures collected by simon spierer. all at the landesmuseum. the "city" looks better at night than during day time. i found my espresso, though. something i can't say about other german cities.
