According to the description, this is supposed to be an early kind of wikiwiki. For a single user (or single seat), because there was no public Internet yet back in 1989.
> MemoryMate is an easy to use memory-resident free-form database. It automatically indexes content so all you have to do is type in a keyword to find your record. As a free-form database, you can use it much like a Personal Information Manager, but you can use it for any kind of data you want. You can set it to show you "reminders" at a certain date.
Even ignoring Engelbert's Mother Of All Demos, hypertext was not unheard of by late '80s — on-line help of a number of major software packages was in hypertext by that time —, but being able to author hypertext online definitely was. I'm very curious to see how they managed to do it. Did they build on WordStar-style 'print codes' some form of genuine wikimarkup? Or did they go the so-typical-of-1980s-software 'everything is in a menu' route?
