Hello Chris,

>sort of blurb saying "Here is X, and ST-Guide; see ST-GUIDE.TXT for more
>info about this excellent thing that we're using to provide online help.")?
I forgot to mention the location in my message; sorry. It is available at
ftp.uni-paderborn.de in (approximately) pub/atari/tools/acc/st-guide/
and the filename to get has 06 in it. The tools archive, with the same
number, is also available. I really wish this program was more widely
distributed. When I distribute the new version (4.5a) of MasterBrowse
to GEnie/Delphi, I'll make sure that the ST-Guide 06 archive is also
uploaded. I'll also FTP it to atari.archive.umich.edu if I can. The
more available it is, the better.
As for the developer, you will have to contact him to find out how he
feels about having it released with products. I think he would like
the idea, but I'm not sure. He has a MAUSNet address in his documentation.
If you do use ST-Guide, for now the best solution might be to just make
sure you upload the ST-Guide archive at the same places you upload your
program, and make sure there is a note in the documentation saying where
Internet, GEnie, Delphi, and CompuServe users can get it. That is really
about the best you can do, I would say.

I'll burn in hell before I learn the TeXinfo format; the document explaining
it appears to be 500K long.
>If ST-Guide is a fairly easy format that supports some kind of formatting,

It does, for all of the above cases. It also does a lot more.
