Go for it!
It would be really usefull as those html versions suck bigtime.
Please consider an Amigaguide version, so that our Amigas will happily display that in an easy manner without eating lots of resources. Unlike html and pdf that require a quite powerfull Amiga setup.

Thank you very much!

Now, could you consider doing an amigaguide version, so that low end Amigas can display those manuals?

I have used HTML 2 Guide, some time ago to try to accomplish the same task. It works, but requires some cleanup (the graphic images).

Maybe you could start with that program, as a base, and then continue cleaning the layout of the generated amigaguides.

Tried that, but the resulting code needed a lot of cleaning up, and the navigation messed up, so I think doing it by hand would be the quicker option.

Just to let you know, I'm half way through the AREXX manual, the others will follow in a while.

I'll post when they're done, just pop back every now and then until they're done to see the progress. It's very tedious and time consuming, that's why progress is a bit slow!


Great! Well done
Keep us updated :)
