Re: ANNOUNCE: Patchwork Girl (hypertext fiction)

Dancer (dancer@brisnet.org.au) didn't like the press release for
PATCHWORK GIRL very much, and made some good comments regarding style.
Some brief notes:

Actually, yes. Eastgate publishes about a dozen new titles each year.
Voyager publishes quite a few fine electronic editions. You can find
interesting hypertexts from Penguin, Yale University Press, Simon and
Schuster, Chicago, and doubtless other publishers I've overlooked.

In addition, there is some fine netborne hypertext, and some shareware IF
that really is closer in spirit and aspiration to literature than to
gaming.

The Macintosh version should run on the Amiga mac emulator and on the UNIX
MAE environment.
