- You need to get hold of an AmigaGuide document viewer.
- On AmigaOS 3.0 Commodore included a utility called MultiView which
- was capable of displaying many different file formats (thanks to
- a thing called datatypes). One of the supplied datatypes was
- for AmigaGuide docs.
-
- AmigaGuide docs are hypertext documents. They are in plain ASCII
- text (you can read them with a text editor) but they contain special
- hypertext commands which any AmigaGuide viewer can interpret, but a
- convensional text view cannot.
-
- There are a number of AmigaGuide viewers for Amiga2.0 (and maybe even
- some for 1.3) on the Aminet.
