OPERATING SYSTEM
---------------- 
DOS 4+/WINDOWS


DESCRIPTION 
----------- 
LGUIDES is an advanced, full-featured function library
documentation VIEWER, with some similarities to the
"Norton Guides" and "Expert Help" programs.

However, LGUIDES has many additional features, the chief
one being that it can easily EXTRACT function header
documentation directly from source code files adhering
to the NANFORUM TOOLKIT function header protocol. 

This is a total solution to the need for building and
MAINTAINING documentation for reusable code written in
any programming language.

If used to document commercial or public-domain function
libraries, it may be used FREE (read-only mode) by
recipients of the function library.  

LGUIDES has multiple projects, categories, incremental
and wild searching, hypertext SEE ALSOs, comprehensive
context-sensitive help, mouse, etc.  It is a
blazing-fast text-mode Clipper program with a familiar
user interface.  It looks and works very nice under Windows
either in a window or in full-screen mode. 

A "MUST-HAVE" IF YOU WRITE REUSABLE CODE. 


SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS  
------- ------------ 
None, although since this is NOT a TSR, it should probably 
always be run under Windows.  This allows the user to switch 
to LGUIDES (Alt-TAB) from your IDE or source code editor. 


TERMS
----- 
FREE in view-only mode. $35 SHAREWARE if used to extract
documentation from source files or build GUIDES for
distribution.  60-day limit on extraction options.  All 
functions are usable during the 60-day evaluation period 
except the option to build a distributable guide file.  After 
the 60-day evaluation period, documentation extraction is 
deactivated.  However, as a doc viewer LGUIDES is FREEWARE and
remains fully functional after the 60-day evaluation period,
with no shareware messages. 

For a limited period, we are giving LGUIDES licenses away 
to universities.  Please inquire. 
 
FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE (see VENDOR.TXT)


INSTALLATION
------------
Copy all files into a directory (suggest LGUIDES). The
executable is LGUIDES.BAT.  Under Windows, you will want
to make a shortcut to LGUIDES.BAT.  There is
context-sensitive  help available (F1).  The help file
(LGUIDES.TXT ) may also be printed, and is the only
written documentation available.
