Short: AmigaGuide to AmigaDOS Shared Libraries
Author: dast@sth.frontec.se
Uploader: istrice@paola.dei.unipd.it
Type: docs/help
The original file I've found in `aminet/docs/help/' was a standard
plain file: short, printable ... readable ..., but not the best for a
quick consultation. That is why I've translated it to an AmigaGuide for-
mat: a bit longer, more readable, easy to use, ... 8)
The translation was made with the great aid of `AGW' by David L. McPaul
(you may find in `aminet/text/hyper/AGWriter???.lha').
P.S.: the guide has several nodes linked to AutoDocs (in the AmigaGuide
format). Then you are supposed to have propely set AmigaGuide path
env (try `aminet/text/hyper/GuidePrefs.lha' if you are not so con-
fident with this issue), and to have the AmigaGuide version of
AutoDocs.
You are also supposed to have the assignment `TEXT-INCLUDE:' set
too. Of course you also need include-files.
I (the AmigaGuide-er) may be reached at the following addresses:
