New Screencast of Douglas Engelbart's Augment System, First System with Hyperlinks, Groupware, Outlining, and More
I've created a screencast showing Douglas Engelbart's ground breaking Augment software.

The screencast uses a Java terminal emulator to sign into Douglas Engelbart's last-existing copy of Augment, running on an emulated PDP-10. It shows the following features:
This screencast is being produced as part of the Hyperscope project, an NSF-funded project to recreate portions of Engelbart's Augment system on the World Wide Web.

Very cool. Glad to see an exploration of NLS's features.
Looking forward to some review of the philosophy behind the system.
