Neil Larson seems to have been way ahead of his time. He produced several hypertext systems for DOS but lacked commercial marketing so the products were only known to a small audience.

HyperBBS and HyperLAN

Was ist just the BBS or did it provide wiki-like collaborative editing?

Don't forget about Perm.

@buckeye43210 do you have any references? The MaxThink 1994 manual only mentions PERM in one sentence but it is not specific about PERM:

But if your MaxThink outline or the MaxThink file created by our PERM expert system has 1,000 to 10,000 or more subtopics, this link-naming approach is the only way to fly.

So PERM seems to have been an expert system and its content was exported to MaxThink?

Yes, and the perm output file can be converted to a mind map via tools like text-to-freemind.
