VHI's Interactive HHGttG

Welcome to The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the most wholly remarkable book in all of the known universe!

Vogon Heavy Industries is proud to make the Guide available to Earth Internet users under licence from Megadodo Publications, Ursa Minor.

There's a great deal of excitment here at VHI, following the release of our all-new Version 2.2 HHGttG port for Netscape Navigator 3.01 users! This version supports sound, animated images, user configuable performance options and also offers a 25% larger data screen than Ver 1.2. Better yet, the Guide's size can now be changed by the user.

All of the Guide's system sounds come from the BBC RadioPhonic Workshop, under the direction of Paddy Kingsland. They were originally created for the twelve part BBC radio series of the HHGttG. For optimal system compatibility, we've included complete Windows ".wav", Sun ".au" and Mac ".aiff" sound sets, and the ability to load the Guide without sound. A new feature automatically suggests the appropriate set for your system. We're sure you'll like it!

NOTE: You must use a Javascript compatible browser which supports frames to view the guide. Currently, Navigator 2.x and 3.0 are the only ones which can do this. Microsoft impaired users are welcome to give both versions a whirl, although VHI will assume no liability for any physcological dammage you may suffer while using MSIE 3.0.
Microsoft crisis intervention services are available at www.netscape.com.
