RE: Looking for a graphic hot spot tool similar to the old RoboHelp SHED

["technical writing plus" <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

Visual Help 2.0 (my copy of which I never got working; the company, Winware,
is no longer around AFAIK) had something called 'Segmented Hypergraphics'.
Later, I think, the expression 'image map' came to mean that sort of thing.

... I think the name for the subdivided clickable space was "image map."  I 
think they surfaced in HTML documents before they appeared in RoboHelp, 
but then again, I thought for a long time that they were called 
"mosaics", so I may have missed other things about them too.  I just now 
started looking for a tool too make these, currently rooting through 
some old Allaire products...
