- Short: GEnie ViewPort (3/94) AmigaGuide w/extras
- Type: docs/mags
- Uploader: Kevin Ferlazzo (k.ferlazzo@genie.geis.com)
- AUTHOR: jimm@genie.geis.com
-
-
- Welcome to the AmigaGuide version of ViewPort! You'll need a viewer
- capable of understanding AmigaGuide files if you want to view this file
- correctly. We recommend AmigaGuide, of course.
-
- You MUST have Workbench 1.3 or greater to use AmigaGuide.
-
- NOTE: The icon supplied with this archive does not specify the location
- of AmigaGuide, by popular demand. This means that AmigaGuide MUST be in
- your search path! AmigaGuide "normally" resides in SYS:UTILITIES, and
- that location is part of the default search path.
-
- This ViewPort archive contains all the graphics called by the .guide
- document. Because the viewer program is now configurable (the default
- program is WDisplay), we have no way of predicting what error message
- you'll get if the graphics are unavailable. Something will happen,
- though - it usually does!
-
- If you have a problem viewing the graphics, the USUAL solution is to make
- sure that both ViewPort and the VPXtra files are in the same directory,
- and that you have CDed to that directory. Example:
-
- CD DH1:ViewPort
-
- Additional "debugging" information is available within ViewPort.
-
- Since the graphics -are- important, and since WDisplay isn't an adequate
- solution for folks running a Workbench with fewer than 16 colors, we
- have now given you the capability to use the viewer of your choice.
-
- Please note the "Click Me To Enable Graphics" button when you enter
- ViewPort. This is important! You MUST click this to enable the
- Environment Variable we use to call the viewer.
-
- If you are running 1.3 or later - which you must, to use the AmigaGuide
- version - your system supports Environment Variables. We've included
- a list of the most popular viewers - at least the ones that sprung to
- mind - in a special Setup section. You'll find a button to take you to
- this section in the Table of Contents, and more instructions are listed
- there.
-
- If you have any problems with the new Environment Variable method of
- calling a viewer, don't hesitate to contact me via GEnie Email or
- Internet. We want to make ViewPort the ultimate online news
- experience, and we are constantly exploring new avenues of delivery
- for ViewPort.
-
- Feel free to reprint and/or repost ViewPort as long as you do so in its
- entirety.
-
- If you do reprint ViewPort, please drop me a line. We'd like to know who
- you are, and - if possible - we'd like to see your newsletter, too.
- We're also interested in submissions and feedback. Again, drop me a line
- on GEnie. My mail address is JIM.MEYER, or I can be reached at this
- Internet address: jimm@genie.geis.com.
