Short: Provides access to all your AmigaGuides and Readme files easily Author: Steve@hargreavess.freeserve.co.uk (Steve Hargreaves) Uploader: Steve hargreavess freeserve co uk (Steve Hargreaves) Type: util/wb Version: 3.1 Requires: AmigaDOS sort and list commands, MUI, SearchGuide (Optional) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Features:- New in V3.1 - Slightly changed the GUI - GHelpGen is now a separate page of the same window. - Added tooltype "SHOWSFX". You can now decide whether or not the list will show the .guide/.doc/.readme suffixes or not. - Fixed a bug in the AND operator. If the keyword wasn't on the first line of the guide, it was treated as not found - Oops. - Problems occured on some systems which I've narrowed down to an insufficient stack size. GHelp now sets its' own stack internally. New in V3.0 - GHelpGUI and GHelpGEN are now in a single executable, resulting in a smaller size, faster operation, and less duplication - Cleaned the GUI up. Now more intuitive to use, and added additional GUI features (progress bars, proper Busy windows etc.) - Indices no longer have to be rebuilt from scratch. You can now add a single guide, or all guides in specified paths as well as re-generating. - After generating/updating the index, a check is made for duplicate entries, and options to selectively include duplicates in the final index introduced. - I'm sure there's more, but details escape me for now. :o) New in V2.6 - GHelpGen re-written to be completely self contained. AmigaDOS List and Sort commands no longer used. The re-write has also resulted in an increase in speed of 15 - 20% when generating indices. - GHelpGen can now be aborted if you wish. - Introduced multiple keyword and boolean searching - Fixed a few more bugs in the GUI. Now fully MUI compliant operation, including full keyboard control, shortcuts, and bubble help. - Fixed a few bugs in the internals. It should be pretty much bug free now. New since V2.0 - Completely re-written from scratch - GUI instead of an AmigaGuide index - in V2.4 rewritten again for MUI - Search guides facility added - Dispensed with the ARexx requirement - The whole package is integrated to work together - Much more modular - Simple to use - Now uses SearchGuide if it's found in your C: directory to allow searching within AmigaGuide files. - Multiple indexes, allowing GHelp to be used as a Global file viewer (when used with a utility such as IDer as the default viewer) - Easy access to all your Amigaguide documents - Progressive Keyword searching of all documents - Support for SearchGuide, so search in specific documents - MUI Interface - Commodity - Hotkey function Try it, you'll wonder what you did without it. When you've had an Amiga for a while, and you've installed software all over the place, despite your best efforts, you finish up with AmigaGuide documents and ReadMe files scattered across your hard drive(s). Now this is fine, until you come to want a specific guide, or aren't sure exactly which guide you are looking for. Wouldn't it be nice to have all your AmigaGuides and ReadMe's available from a single hotkey. That's where GHelp comes in. Quite simply, GHelp consists of two programs that work together as a package. GHelpGen searches your hard drives (the exact search paths are configurable) and creates an index of AmigaGuide docs. GHelp is a small commodity that sits in the background waiting for you to press your (user definable) hotkey combination, and then launches GHelpGUI where you can open, delete and search Amigaguides. GHelpGUI provides the functionality that Amiga should have been born with. This is version 2.6. Includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements. See the guide for details.
