Judy,
Inquiring minds want to know: what were the results of the ACM test?

This reminds me of an ACM article I'm having the students read this
week
(It's something like 'Text vs Hypertext: Which is easier to use to
find
information' or some such thing).
It involved two groups with reference material on Sherlockiana -- one
group had all the info in a Hypercard stack and the other had the same
material in a book/encyclopedic reference format.
The test subjects were given a list of questions and timed as they
found
the answers.
It would be interesting to repeat it with my students -- one group
using
the built-in docs and the other using Dave's indexed PDF...
(considering the idea... anybody got any good questions?)
