Inconsistency

[edit]

This article's opening passage reads:

"ZOG was an early hypertext system developed at Carnegie Mellon University during the 1970s by Donald McCracken and Robert Akscyn."

Meanwhile, in the reference [0] below or here, citing [36], Myers of Carnegie Mellon University, says:

"The ZOG project (1977) from CMU was another early hypertext system, and was funded by ONR and DARPA [36]."

My question is which is responsible for ZOG, McCracken et al, or Robertson et al. --KYPark 16:48, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This link http://www.boraski.com/www/ht.html says George Robertson headed the development. Also, Zog on the Carl Vinson was linked to a laserdisc to display the ship's operating manual, text and diagrams, so the statement about being text-only is not quite true.
