Ted Nelson's stuff
>From CSL.BKR@SU-SCORE Fri Nov  6 21:20:11 1981
Ted Nelson sent Don Knuth a copy of his latest "book", which Don circulated
to me and which is now in the Stanford library. There are only about 10
copies in existence, as far as I know. Someone with some time could
read through it and extract the relevant parts for E-P.

As far as I can tell, there aren't any good articles on Ted Nelson's
Hypertext and Xanadu because his idea of Xanadu is still involving.  You
can, however, write to him:

       Ted Nelson
       Box 128
       Swarthmore PA

and he'd probably be happy to tell you what he's up to.  I gather that
the article on NLS at the 1968 SJCC (I think) is still the one that
people cite.
