Short: Browse compressed archived HTML docs
Author: bsrogers@cobweb.com.au (Brendan Rogers)
Uploader: bsrogers@cobweb.com.au (Brendan Rogers)
Version: 0.9
Type: text/hyper
Requires: OpenURL 2.0, LhA
The goal of this project was to make HTML format help documents easier to
contend with on the Amiga. Suppose someone has constructed help documentation
in HTML, complete with graphics, links to web sites, email addresses etc.
What is actually a single document traditionally arrives as a multitude of
smaller files - HTML pages and images.
The end user doesn't need a bunch of small files, the browser does...
The GetHelp system allows you to use an HTML document like an Amigaguide
document - a single hypertext help file. Because its compressed, a GetHelp
file will generally be much smaller than the equivalent Amigaguide file.
Try constructing a '.help' file from an Amiguide document that has been
converted to HTML using GuideML or equivalent tools. My PCDoom_FAQ.guide (386kB)
has been trimmed to a PCDOOM_FAQ.help (222kB).
Gethelp also opens the door for a comprehensive hypertext based help system on
the Amiga, referencing each document with a single click and navigating in a
browser environment - see the included examples!
There is no installer required for this installation, just follow the
instructions in the HTML documentation. Once these steps are complete, you
can open "GetHelp.help" from your browser and delete the docs drawer forever!!
History
========
0.9 - incorporated OpenURL2.0 to simplify and shorten the script
0.8 - modified arguments to lhA command for better compatibility
0.7 - Initial aminet release.
Had some feedback that the lha command was not working for some people.
Thanks to Neil Botwick for his suggestions.
