Short:        AdTOag - Autodocs TO Amigaguide. V1.4
Author:       joe@baud.de(Jörg Waltemathe)
Uploader:     joe baud de(Jörg Waltemathe)
Type:         text/convert
Architecture: m68k-amigaos



requires: Amiga (on 68k)
          mui (I use 3.8. I don't know if some other versions will work)
          (optional) Searchguide from Aminet if you want to use the search function (in case you are not registerted user of something else)
          (optional) GuideCompil from Aminet is a nice proggy in which you can combine multiple guide files in one guide (not needed by adTOag)

          Wow!! Is this a commercial ?? (No. I just want to mention two good easy to use proggys (they are worth a look))

purpose:  I want to prog something with mui and was bored and pi.... .. looking at these AutoDocs cause I had no links in it.
          So I looked around and found nothing. I personally don't like M....... So I won't buy their M.....HotHelp.
          And then I decided to write a parser. 

usage  :  Start it from shell without options or wb
          Use pop-request for path where the *.doc files are (no subdirs)
          Use pop-request for path and name of target (the .guide) file
          Checkmark to decide if you want to use a search button
          Then hit the parse button.

          If you want to start the created guide from WB create an icon and enter in the tooltypes 'multiview'

          Easy isn't it ??

future :  autocreate of the needed icons and tooltypes
          nice icons (any ideas? mail them to me)
          maybe a small script to let all three proggys (mentioned above) work together

bugs   :  I tested it with MUIAutoDocs. Works fine for me.
          Muimaster.doc is different than the others.
          At the moment you should edit it and delete all newlines after the FF (formfeed)
          (you can do this in 20 or 25 seconds)
          (If you you feel like beta-testers, I feel sorry but I can't test every single link ;-)

  -->     If you find any bugs or if you have any ideas or if you find some docs which are not converted properly feel free to mail me.


History:

        new in v1.4: can start from WB (am I stupid?)
                     fixed it for some system docs. e.g. grafics.doc (thx for telling me Jean-François)
                     You think there is a standard ? Far away !
