  abstract =     "With the current information explosion in the number
                 of books and periodicals published annually coupled
                 with the decreasing costs and availability of
                 wordprocessors, it is authors, not publishers, who are
                 becoming the main controllers of a document. If a
                 document is written using a computer then it obviously
                 makes sense for it to be read on the same medium. But
                 how will the ordinary man-in-the-street react to this?
                 How will he react to sitting down at a terminal instead
                 of browsing through bookshelves? How will he react to
                 scanning a screenful of text rather than feeling the
                 `physicalness' of a real book? What facilities will he
                 expect? What facilities will he want? This paper is the
                 result of three and a half years research using VORTEXT
                 \emdash{} VictORias TEXT reading system \emdash{} a
                 unique interface which begins to explore the limits,
                 possibilities (and pitfalls!) of extending the `real
                 book' metaphor across from its traditional paper medium
                 to its future computerized form.",
