Convert is a small, but still usefull utility. It can convert .help files
to .guide ones or .guide files to .help ones. It is a CLI only(not much
free time to write a GUI, sorry!).
Usage :convert source [destination]
If the source is a .guide file then it will convert it to a .help one.
If the source is a .help one that it will convert it to a .guide one.
If you ommit the destination then convert will use a suitable
name (filename with the correct extension).
There are some commands that are not supported since thay are not usefull
For example:The >font is not supported(unlike @font), as the @next and
That happens becouse all the above commands are not usefull to the
opposite file format. The internal commands are also not supported for
the AmigaGuide® documents. (The internal command QUIT is supported.
but some versions of the AmigaGuide.library dont support that command.
I just did that in order to be compatible with Heddley).
There is a progress indicator also. When the process comes to end, you
can see if you gained or lost bytes after the convertion process.
You can stop the process by pressing Ctrl+C (classic..)
Convert's slight bug now fixed! No problem now concerning the size of
the files you want to convert! Plus, i added a nodes and line counter
just for your information ;-)
Also convert now support correctly the fontstyles. Updated to support
Heddley in full effect.
Convert was not using proper names for the '@Database' and '@Master'
commands of AmigaGuide® when converting an Assist document. Now it is
fixed.
Convert is updated and now works fine and support all
AmigaGuide® commands (except @Next and @Prev, which i dont think that they
are necessary). I am using as a base the Heddley supported
commands! I dont know ALL the AmigaGuide® commands! (AmigaGuide®
developers pack requested!!)
