Hi, contained in this archive is the source for a utility called Expert

Guide, a text mode Norton Guide reader for OS/2.

Eg started life as a bit of C code that did nothing more than dump the

contents of a NG menu structure to stdout, then a messed around a little

more, added a little here, added a little there, and I ended up with all

this C++ code. The state of the code (and the design) shows that it EG

was not very well planned from the start, but I'm making it available

in the hope that it might a) be of use to someone as a utility and 

b) the source may be of use to anyone wanting to dig into the structure

of Norton Guide files.

The best way to use EG is to stick it in the same directory as your NG

files. When you first start it use:

	eg c:\ng\myguide.ng

From then on EG will remember in an INI file (called eg.ini, in the same

directory as eg.exe) what guide you were last looking at. While running

EG you can press Alt-D for a list of other available guies or you can

press Ctrl-D to make it rescan the list (the list is held in eg.ini for

speed reasons).

And that's about it. It's missing a couple of things, not least of which

is a search facilty, I may get round to putting this in one day.

EG was written using EMX/GCC, I've included the Makefile. Note that if you

have not made the omf libs for EMX will will either need to do so or you

will need to change the Makefile so that it does not attempt to compile

for and link against them

I hope you find this of use.

If you have any problems please feel free to mail me at:

The most current version of EG will be available at:

I've got a Web based Norton Guide reader and a NG->HTML converter available.
