- > Interesting. I got mine with Ami-Back 2.0 and it is really nothing more than a
- library and *.guide files. Is there a program for making AmigaGuide files?
-
- There is a program (Called makeguide I think) that will turn gnu info
- files into amigaguide files. BUT
- you don't really need a program at all.
- Take an amigaguide file.
- Look at it in a text file.
-
- it's pretty straightforward:
-
-
- @database "Example.guide"
- @node Main "Example"
- @endnode
- @node "NameOfLink"
- Stuff I want to appear when I hit a button linked to this node
- @endnode
- @node "AnotherNode"
- This is a node that wants to go to the other one when the button
- @{"Hit this button to go to the other node" link NameOfLink} is pressed
- @endnode
-
- I'm not near my amiga, but this, and a real guide file should tell you
- what you need to know.
- Now, what it needs is something like:
- @{datatype <dimensions in ems and lines> "Filename"}
- to include pictures, sounds, etc!
