All,

The latest version of Fujitsu's "HyBrick" browser, V0.8, with support for
XLink/XPointer, is now available from Fujitsu's Web site:

http://www.fujitsu.co.jp/hypertext/free/HyBrick/download2.html

The browser and supporting documentation can be downloaded by clicking on
hb.08.exe.

This is a Japanese-language site, so much of the supporting documentation
won't be accessible to non-Japanese readers. A brief summary:

Features:

- HyBrick includes a DSSSL renderer and XLink/XPointer engine running on
top of SP and Jade
- XLink/XPointer are supported on the local file system
- XPointer is implemented as a subset of the HyTime property set
- Link traversal can use either "New" or "Replace" to display a new page

Using HyBrick:

- HyBrick is supplied as a self-extracting file.
- Once the files are installed, start HyBrick from the bin directory.
- Use the "Browse" button to open the file sample\docs\readme.xml.
- Click on blue-highlighted areas with the left mouse button to see a list
of locations linked to the highlighted location. If only one location is
available, traversal to that location is immediate.
- Click on blue-highlighted areas with the right mouse button to see the
location of that area expressed as an XPointer.
