Amigaguide

Amigaguide is a hypertext file format designed for the Amiga, files are stored in ASCII so it is possible to read and edit a file without the need for special software.

Since Workbench 2.1[?] an Amigaguide viewer has been included as standard on the Amiga, users with earlier versions of Workbench could view the files by downloading AmigaGuide 34 (ftp://uk.aminet.net/pub/aminet/text/hyper/aguide34.lha).

Although the Amigaguide format is almost solely used for documenting Amiga programs, viewers are available for several platforms,

Java - JAGUaR (http://home1.swipnet.se/~w-10967/Projex/Jaguar/jag1_40.zip)
MSDOS - AGView (ftp://k332.feld.cvut.cz/pub/local/lemming/AGView/AGview.arj)
Windows - WinGuide (ftp://uk.aminet.net/pub/aminet/misc/emu/winguide.lha)
Linux - AGReader (ftp://uk.aminet.net/pub/aminet/misc/emu/AGReader.tgz)
