Brief Installation guide (refer to the ST-Guide HYPertext for more info)
===========================================================================
To minimise the risk of other software affecting the installation of
ST-Guide perform the installation after a reboot on a 'clean' minimum
system!
Extracting the archives (Skip if your version is already extracted)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Extract the contents of the archives OR copy the contents of the
master disk onto the root directory of your boot partition/disk.
Either method should preserve the directory structure and ensures ST-GUIDE
can locate its files. Double check to ensure ST-GUIDE.ACC and ST-GUIDE.INF
reside in the root directory of the boot partition or disk.
Configuring ST-Guide Lite (Only neccessary if not pre-configured)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using a text editor (eg Everest) you can edit the example ST-GUIDE.INF
below and save it as ST-GUIDE.INF. Carefully read through the options.
Each option is described in detail followed by the option line itself.
Lines preceded with a '#' character are NOT currently active.
ST-GUIDE should not be renamed as some applications which offer on-line
help may not be able to find it.
Example ST-GUIDE.INF file:

#========================================================================
# **** Please edit this ST-Guide INF file to your requirements ****
#========================================================================
#
# This file is configured with hard drive users in mind but floppy based
# users can easily set up a RAM disk as drive C: and run ST-Guide from
# there.
#
# To edit this file load it into any ASCII text editor (for example
# Everest, Tempus etc) and edit the paths as desired.
#
# By default ST-Guide looks for a 'GUIDES' folder on 'C', which contains
# all your 'HYP and 'REF' files, and a 'STGUIDE' folder also on 'C' which
# contains the utilities.
#
# Lines beginning with the '#' symbol (like this line) are comments and
# are ignored by ST-Guide.
#
# Default search path, where ST-Guide looks for 'HYP' hypertexts:
PATHS=C:\GUIDES;C:\ST-GUIDE
#
# Default directory ST-Guide opens when calling the File Selector.
# HCP also compiles to this path:
HYPFOLD=C:\GUIDES\
#
# An external viewer, which must be memory resident can be used to
# display unknown file types:
#EXTVIEW=1STVIEW.ACC
#
# A list of file extenders and paths to external viewers may follow:
#IMG=C:\1STVIEW.ACC
#
# The hypertext file to be loaded via the ST-Guide 'Catalog' option or
# when ST-Guide is started without parameters:
HYPTOP=C:\GUIDES\CATALOG.HYP
#
# The file used to find references:
REF=C:\GUIDES\ALL.REF
#
# ST-Guide can use GDOS screen fonts if loaded, the code determines the
# font used. Refer to main documentation for syntax details:
#FONT=98,9
#
# The following two variables are only relevant in colour resolutions and
# are ignored in monochrome resolutions.
# TXTCOLOR displays text in the specified colour.
# REFCOLOR displays references in the specified colour using the
# normal typestyle (NOT bold and underlined).
# Default colours (Note! Your system may change these values!):
# 0=White 1=Black 2=Red 3=Green
# 4=Blue 5=Cyan 6=Yellow 7=Magenta
# 8=Grey 9=Dark grey 10=Dark red 11=Dark green
# 12=Dark blue 13=Dark cyan 14=Dark yellow 15=Dark magenta
TXTCOLOR=2
REFCOLOR=3
#
# HCP is used to compile STG files into HYP files. STool uses this entry
# to 'compile':
HCP=C:\ST-GUIDE\HCP\HCP.TTP
#
# The number of spaces a tab will be expanded to is set here:
#TABSIZE=4
#
# This variable is provided to install ARROWPATCH. This patch corrects a
# bug in the AES which prevents the scroll bars in windowed accessories
# from working correctly with certain TOS versions.
# If you exerience this behaviour activate this patch ON (by removing
# the preceding #).
# This patch is not needed if you are running WINX, MagiC, MTOS or
# already running ARROWPATCH.
#ARROWPATCH=1
#
# The first two values set the top left corner of the window. The
# next two values set the bottom right corner for the ST-Guide window:
WINSIZE=40,40,560,320
#
# This file will be loaded automatically if ST-Guide is started without
# parameters:
DEFHYP=st-guide.hyp
#
# These options are used automatically when HCP is called:
HCP_OPT=+zz-s
#
# These options pass parameters from ST-Guide to HypTree:
#HYPTREE_OPT=
#
# Special HypTree options
#
# Here the default size of the HypTree window can be displayed.
# If these variables are not defined, the size and position of the last
# window will be used, if available.
HT_WINSIZE=40,40,560,320
#
# Using this switch you can decide whether all pages are included in the
# HypTree structure (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
HT_OPENALL=1
#
# This variable sets the position of the triangle in the window
# 0 = With the text, 1 = On the left hand margin of the window.
HT_MACLIKE=0
#
# The following command line is sent to HypTree from ST-Guide (via
# VA_START) after a double click of the user on the menu bar name of any
# hypertext page. The following strings are replaced with the actual
# values when called:
# %p Pathname of the hypertext file
# %n Name of the hypertext file (without path)
# %s The internen name of the hypertext page
HT_CALLSTG=-s1 %p %s
#
# The following command line is to ST-Guide from HypTree so that the
# actual hypertext is closed:
HT_STOPSTG=-s0
#
# That's it!
