Magic Info V6 is a Knowledge Management KM system that was originally developed as a documentation
system for software developers. Since it's conception, it has evolved to much more than that.
Concept
The user interface was designed around the well-known Microsoft Windows Explorer. We replaced
the folders and files with books and pages.
Features
Text Documentation
As mentioned above, the system represents books and pages. These pages can be filled with
formatted text. A page can also have sub pages and then becomes a book.
External Links
The need arose to link existing documentation files to the system. This feature gives
the user the facility to add existing documentation files to the system without re typing
or copying the text. It also made it possible to add non-text data to the system e.g. charts
or graphic files.
Other types of links were also added like See Also, SQL and Internet links.
