Project HypView
|
|
===============

|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
The project HypView aims at developing a free ST-Guide replacement.
|
|
ST-Guide is hypertext viewer for TOS compatible systems and used
|
|
to display online help in many applications. It allows to read
|
|
documentations not only in a linear manner (from beginning to end),
|
|
but also to freely jump across chapters by clicking on a highlighted
|
|
text passage. Today this is a very familiar concept for everybody
|
|
browsing through the world wide web using HTML pages.
|
|
ST-Guide files are recognized by their file extension (HYP) and are
|
|
often accompanied by .REF files.
|

History
|
|
-------
|
|
This project was started by Philipp Donze in 2001 as a private,
|
|
one-man project. Until beginning of 2004 a varying number of beta
|
|
testers helped to improve the application. Thanks to the contributions
|
|
of Gerhard Stoll, the project progressed more until 2006 when the
|
|
sources have gone "public" under the initiative of Odd Skancke (which
|
|
ported also the sources to gcc).
|
|
Today the project (including its sources) is freely available under
|
|
the GNU Public License (GPL, provided in COPYING). The latest source
|
|
code is available through the CVS repository of FreeMiNT (in the
|
|
'freemint/tools/hypview' directory).
