@node WhatIs "What is HX?"
HX is an easy to use GUI for UUhx by Adam Dawes.
@endnode
@node Requirements "System requirements"
HX should work on any Amiga running kickstart 2.04 or greater.
You will also require UUhx 1.01. The archiver programs LhA and LZX are also
required if you plan to use the archive option.
UUhx requires that these files be in the same directory.
@endnode
@node Usage "Using HX"
The GUI itself is fairly straight forward, you should not have any
problems using it. It supports multiselects for decode infiles, and
encode infiles when archiving is enabled.

@node Legal "Legal stuff"
I won't accept responsibility for any damage done to your system or data
lost, directly or indirectly, as a result from using this program or any of
its associated files. You use the program entirely at your own risk. Of
course if you *do* experience problems then I'll do what I can to sort them
out, and please let me know so that I can try to cure them in a future
release. It has been tested and seems to work OK on an A4000 (3.0) and an
A500 (2.04).
HX and its associated files are not public domain. They may be distributed
freely as long as no charge is imposed. They may not be included within any
commercial package without expresed written permission from the author,
the exceptions from this are the AmiNet CDs and Fred Fish's collections.
HX may only be distributed if all files contained within the original
archive are present.

@node Bugs "Bugs"
The only problem I encountered was that LHA and LHX could not handle file
paths with two word names in them, even with double quotes around it,
example "Ram Disk:". I have not been able to overcome this problem, so be
carefull when using the archiving option.
