XGL Hypertext VOYAGER AUTHOR, designed specifically for the non-technical end user, is as easy to use as a simple word processor. Simply enter your text or import existing text and pictures and then let the VOYAGER system do the rest for you. VOYAGER's high level of automation means for the first time you can easily cope with bringing together and maintaining hundreds or even thousands of text topics and pictures - all in a single database. Sounds easy doesn't it? It is! VOYAGER makes it so, by taking the hard work out of authoring and giving you intuitive, "keep it simple", easy-to-use viewing. Just see how simple authoring can be with VOYAGER:
