STORYSPACE: A Bottle of Beer – Format
Done primarily as backup, a version of A Bottle of Beer has been put into Storyspace for safekeeping. I do have a word document on it as well, as Jeremy at Hypertextopia has made it easy to grab off the internet.

The primary difference is that the “Shards” need to be linked back to the “Fragment” from which they are text-linked since they open up as a separate window in Storyspace, rather than as a text window alongside the main window as in Hyptextopia. There is a possibility of doing this in SSP. but that would mean that all text windows would need to be kept open.
