I also wrote a hypertext-like front-end with Turbo Pascal, pre-Internet, back in the day .. there was a 3rd-party UI framework that made it so reasonable to mix graphics and GUI elements in MSDOS, so .. we made a bunch of internal company apps that rendered the data off the network, allowed the execs to point and click things, change graphs, etc. I remember seeing a plethora of amazing GUI plugins for Delphi too ..
