Introduction... --------------- Have a look at the next button and if it's a little un-readable then Fixguide is for you!! @{" What's wrong with this button ?" link harold} as you can see the button is un-readable, I have had alot of guides that have this problem. So I decided to write an editor that replaces all the   with a space. How's this? @{" What's wrong with this button ?" link harold} There you go much better don't you think? @endnode @node DISCLAIMER Disclaimer ---------- This program and all its associated files are Shareware.

The Shareware Concept: ---------------------- Shareware is a concept where you may try a program before registering (Paying). This program is shareware but unlike other shareware programs it isn't limited in any way. All I ask is if you use it regularly and get some enjoyment out of it you to send me something (Anything from a postcard to cash, I don't really mind). The more people who send me a donation will give me an inclination of the size of the Amiga community, I will then decide whether it's worth writing more programs. To register @{" Press " link CONTACT} for my address @endnode @node MAGS "What do we do then?" Magazines. ---------- If any other Mags (CU or AF) would like to include this on a CD then please do-so, I really don't mind. All I ask is that the archive isn't altered. @endnode @node BUGS "Arhhhhh no not them....!"

Credits. -------- The idea, conception, and programming is courtesy of: Mark Green. And to all the Amiga owners who have helped keep the machine alive. If it wasn't for people like you the Amiga would be dead. Stick with the Amiga and if a Software House stops supporting the Amiga then write to them. If they still say NO then it's their loss. @endnode @node CONTACT "You wanna contact me then?"
