Short: The ultimate HELP: manager v1.2
Author: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de (Andreas Falkenhahn)
Uploader: Andreas.Falkenhahn@gmx.de (Andreas Falkenhahn)
Type: util/cdity
This some kind of major update for AHelp. You might know
that the last release was in November `97 and it was very
buggy....But I can finally present you this version with
the following improvements/changes:
· Updated Installation script
· Updated AmigaGuide® documentation
· new tooltype: VISUALPREFS. Set it if you use Visual Prefs
and experience problems with AHelp
· added fontsensitivity code to AHelp Preferences program
· turned MUI interface in a fully fontsensitive and resizable
gadtools GUI
· added locale.library and a german catalog aswell as the developer
files
· added nice logo to the GUI which is automatically remapped to
Workbench palette (this job is done by guigfx.library)
· relayouted the GUI
· GUI is now controllable by keyboard either
· some visual changes
· added support for HTML files (this job is done by openurl.library)
· normal documentations are now viewed with amigaguide.library instead
of Sys:Utilities/Multiview...
· alot of code optimizations
· turned listview into a little directory browser
· recoded commodity/app handler
· AHelp is now added to the Tools menu of the Workbench when it`s
iconified
If you don`t know what AHelp is good for, here`s a short description:
Let`s have a short visit to the past...
...Commodore introduced the HELP: assign in 1992 but it seems
that they forgot to include a program which allows easy access
to the documents stored in that path...
And now here`s AHelp. This program does this job as good as
possible. AHelp runs as a commodity fully in the background.
Simply press HELP (or an other HotKey defined by you) and a nice
GUI appears. You can select now between all documents stored
in HELP: (or a drawer of your choice).
From version 1.2 on AHelp has also some kind of little directory
browser implemented. You can browse through all the directories
on your harddisk.
Additionally there are different options you can choose
in the Prefs Program. Simply have a look at usage.
