If this ever happens, why worry? The format of the HyperText is
available. You could write your own, if you wanted to, that shared
the same format. Anyway, this implies that ST-Guide is not complete.
How much do you want your Online Help utility to do? It already does
indexing, pictures, sounds, text effects, and has a very comprehensive
language built around it. If it were abandoned today, it would still
be the best solution for years to come.
