- In a sense, AmigaGuide is already available for everyone, since we are now
- shipping MultiView with Release 3 machines, which lets you view AG docs.
- And developers have been shipping products for quite a while with
- AmigaGuide docs.
-
- As to how future versions of AG will be released, or how much it would cost,
- etc. I certainly couldn't say. It's a fairly safe bet that it would be made
- available for all machines, at least back to the Release 2 level.

-
- Right. Don't expect AmigaGuide documentation to completely replace any of
- the paper variety.
