Abstract :
Hypertext is an appealing technology for automating the software maintenance process. Maintenance tasks such as locating an error or confirming that a modification does not break existing code can be naturally implemented as link-following exploration activities in a hypertext system. A description is given of the requirements process for a hypertext software-maintenance system called Hypermaint. The author also discusses how the requirements affect the overall architecture of the hypertext system.<>
