PC-Hypertext: Attributes 4. - The PC-Hypertext System includes nominal security features to ensure the integrity of the system's data and as an aid to application developers and users. These functions corroborate the existence of idea nodes and create the network paths that link the associated ideas. These security functions primarily serve to protect the integrity of the hypertext application by informing application users of the status of system files. When the PC-Hypertext application is implemented, this rudimentary security system validates the requisite information files and the system structure as a guard against accidental or unintended corruption of the information base by negligent or uninformed users.
