- If this ever happens, why worry? The format of the HyperText is
- available. You could write your own, if you wanted to, that shared
- the same format. Anyway, this implies that ST-Guide is not complete.
- How much do you want your Online Help utility to do? It already does
- indexing, pictures, sounds, text effects, and has a very comprehensive
- language built around it. If it were abandoned today, it would still
- be the best solution for years to come.
