ANNOUNCEMENT

Diagrammatic Thinking Support System D-ABDUCTOR2.23 Is Available

We are very happy to announce that the diagrammatic thinking
support system D-ABDUCTOR (Version V2.23) is now publicly
released in binary form. D-ABDUCTOR is an interactive system to
support human thinking processes by using sophisticated
techniques for diagram visualization/manipulation.  Features of
D-ABDUCTOR are:

 - advanced graphic user interface based upon automatic graph
   drawing and fisheye view
 - direct manipulation and animation environment
 - communication facilities and multi-media facilities

We often exploit diagrams when we think something.  One reason
of using diagrams is that they are good media to represent and
organize personal thought, and to share ideas among persons on
group works.  However, editing, reforming, and redrawing
diagrams, which are necessary on thinking processes, are
troublesome works.  Moreover they might be unessential for
thought.  D-ABDUCTOR can efficiently support the processes to
manipulate the diagram interactively and to organize idea
fragments into an integrated diagram.  The diagram is expressed
mathematically as a compound graph (a graph with both inclusion
and adjacency relations).

D-ABDUCTOR is delivered as a SPARC binary for Sun workstations
(SunOS 4.1.x) and works on Sun-4/110, SPARCstation 1, 1+ and 2. 
D-ABDUCTOR has been implemented including binaries of the
toolkit XView and it does not have the facilities to edit text.
The user should prepare a text editor such as Emacs in the same
environment.  D-ABDUCTOR is available for non-profit use by
anonymous ftp from

ftp.fujitsu.co.jp(164.71.1.131)
/pub/misc/abd2.23.tar.gz
or
SunSITE.sut.ac.jp(133.31.30.7) 
/pub/asia-info/japanese-src/packages/abd2.23.tar.gz

In the directory there is a package including a binary file and
related documents.

D-ABDUCTOR has been developed at the Institute for Social
Information Science, FUJITSU LABORATORIES LIMITED, devised by
Kazuo Misue and Dr. Kozo Sugiyama and written by Kazuo Misue.
D-ABDUCTOR is still under ongoing updates and technical
evolution.  Therefore, any comment based on its use is very
welcome.  We are preparing Mailing List.  If you want to become
a member of the ML, please send a message as

to Majordomo@iias.flab.fujitsu.co.jp.

Although FUJITSU LABORATORIES LIMITED shall reserve the
copyright of D-ABDUCTOR, D-ABDUCTOR is now publicly distributed
and permitted to copy, use and re-distribute as it is without
fee for non-profit purposes. See `Distribution Notice' in the
