@database ReadMe_ViewPort_July93.guide @width 77 @height 30 @wordwrap @node Main "About *StarShip* Viewport" Welcome to the AmigaGuide version of ViewPort! You'll need a viewer capable of understanding AmigaGuide files if you want to view this file correctly. We recommend AmigaGuide, of course. You'll find the complete AmigaGuide kit, including versions for 1.3, 2.x, and 3.x, in the GEnie *StarShip* library: File #19287 AMIGAGUIDE_V344.LHA 269,056 bytes It's a big file, but you only need to get it once. (Commodore requires that the entire archive be kept intact. This file includes the program, documentation, source code, examples, and utilities.) You MUST have Workbench 1.3 or greater to use AmigaGuide. The text in this archive will be readable through normal means, but it will be cluttered with AmigaGuide commands. If you don't have an AmigaGuide-compatible viewer and don't plan to get one, you'll find the "normal" version of ViewPort much better suited to your purposes. NOTE: The icon supplied with this archive is set to call AmigaGuide in SYS:UTILITIES. If you have installed AmigaGuide elsewhere, you will need to change the path in the default tool. This issue of ViewPort has a companion file: VPXTRA_JUL93. That file contains the graphics called by certain buttons within ViewPort, and must be downloaded separately. If you don't have the graphics, WDisplay will open an empty window which you can then close. (If you don't have WDisplay, you'll simply see an error message.) Feel free to reprint and/or repost ViewPort as long as you do so in its entirety. If you do reprint ViewPort, please drop me a line. We'd like to know who you are, and - if possible - we'd like to see your newsletter, too. We're also interested in submissions and feedback. Again, drop me a line on GEnie.
