Guide++

The Norton Guides(r) viewer and converter that can be linked right into your CA-Clipper applications.  It can convert your Norton Guide and Expert Help files to Rich Text Format, Windows Help, HTML, HP's PCL language, and ASCII text.

Faster Development with Guide++

Guide++ is a Norton Guide and Expert Help converter/viewer that has the features you have been waiting to see for years. It is a timely product for any developer now that CA-Clipper 5.3 is on the horizon and has a Microsoft Windows-based IDE.

In seconds, you can convert any Norton Guide file to a file ready for the Microsoft Windows Help compiler, so you can stay in your Windows-based environment while developing your CA-Clipper applications.

Improved Output

At long last, you can convert entire Guide files to Rich Text Format, which can be used with any current word processor. This enables you to print the entire guide in an organized and highly readable format, with all attribute markings preserved.Even better, you can convert your entire Guide file to a version of Rich Text Format designed specifically for use with the Windows Help® compiler. Guide++ even produces the Windows Help compiler project file, so all you need to do is invoke the help compiler after the conversion is completed.

If you are interested in providing information on Internet, Guide++ can convert your entire Guide file to an HTML document you can browse with any WorldWideWeb viewer.

Fans of 4Print will be delighted with the Hewlett-Packard Page Control Language (PCL) output capabilities available in Guide++. You can produce files that are ready to be copied to an HP LaserJet compatible printer. These files can be printed complete with table of contents and page numbers. Furthermore, sample .INI files are provided that allow you to print 2 or 3 pages per sheet, so you can put more information on each page. The text attribute markings are preserved as well.

ASCII Text output is also supported, and includes table of contents and page numbers.

Customizable Viewer

Guide++ comes with complete CA-Clipper source code using Class(y) classes, so you can link it directly into your applications. Even better, you can customize it to fit your needs, since now you have all the source code you need to do whatever you want with any .NG file. Of course, an executable version of the viewer is already provided with the product.

Usability Features

Anyone frustrated with the status quo will appreciate the following capabilities:

Specifying any directory at any time to load NG files
Incremental searching for NG titles as you type them in
A history list that allows you to jump back to any entry in your current viewing stack
A search capability that provides all "hits" on your search string, with the ability to pick one of the "hits" at any time until a new search on the entire guide is performed
Output of the entire guide, the current entry, or the current entry and all entries it contains at any time
Text-based file configuration similar to Microsoft Windows .INI files
Complete CA-Clipper source code with a linkable library for you to customize your own version of Guide++
