- This sounds like a QBNSD (Quick but no so dirty :) project - if no one has
- started it I'll undertake it.
-
- Glad to hear. I have suggestions already.
-
- How about making it accept normal text files too, so that with one system
- I could use both .guide and text files.
-
- Something like this: GUIDEMANUALS assign to one directory and
- TEXTMANUALS assign to other directory.
-
- Then with a hotkey your program scan's through
- those assigned dirs and makes a large collection
- of buttons for every manual selection or makes
- a listview. If amigaguide manual is selected then
- AmigaGuide (or MultiView) is launched and if
- text files is selected then users preffered text
- reader is launched.
-
- Well, it's just a suggestion.
