- Doc2AG - a short comment
- Version 1.1 09/19/1993
- =="
-
- ABOUT Doc2AG:
- -------------
-
- The idea for this this little program came to me when I started using GNUPLOT. For
- the Amiga implementation is what I would call "poor", the intension was to use the
- features of the AmigaGuide® to make online-help access more convenient.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- -------------
-
- Doc2AG should work on any Amiga but it will need about 80kB of free memory (depends
- on the number of topics and links in GNUPLOT.DOC). The conversion time varies
- between ~30 s (68040/Harddisk) and ~20 min (68000/Floppy disk). You may think that
- 20 min is quite a lot of time, but just try to do a conversion manually and you will
- recognize that 20 min is short.
- Before you start converting the GNUPLOT.DOC file make sure that there is enough disk
- space on your destination volume because Doc2AG creates a temporal file (about the
- same size as GNUPLOT.DOC) and the final output file (about 1.5 times the size of
- GNUPLOT.DOC).
-
- USAGE:
- ------
-
- To convert the GNUPLOT.DOC file to a GNUPLOT.GUIDE file just type:
-
- doc2ag GNUPLOT.DOC GNUPLOT.GUIDE
-
- If no error occurs the program will tell you this after execution by writing a line
- like:
-
- doc2ag success: Conversion completed. Found X topics and Y links.
-
- where X is the number of topics and Y the number of links.
- There a three possible types of errors:
- 1. Files could not be opened
- 2. Not enough free memory
- 3. Maximum number of links or topics is exceeded
- All user definable settings for doc2ag can be changed by editing the doc2ag.user
- file. So if an error occurs concerning more topics or if you would like to have
- another outfit for your AmigaGuide® just use this little file.
-
- HISTORY:
- --------
-
- v1.0 - initial release
- v1.1 - added doc2ag.user file for user specific settings of AmigaGuide®
