StAHG is a simple ReAction based tool created for the purpose of making an Amiga's collection of help files easier to access. Naturally, the first question to come up is, "What help files?" The answer is, "Exactly!" Or, if you prefer, all those Help Files all over your hard drive..

Many of us have had the same Amiga for years now, following through with upgrade after upgrade, pushing our Amigas to the limits of common sense. The longer you use the same computer, the more software you install, the more stuff gets splattered around your hard drive. Through the years, many of us have installed many software packages on our systems, from applications to patches. A large portion of the Amiga's software installs their documentation files somewhere in the "Help:" assign, never to be seen again. Then you have to go huntng for it, if you even remember where it is.

With the advent of AmigaOS 3.5, an overlooked "undocumented feature" is a system hook that tries to use the MultiView program to open "Workbench.guide." Naturally, this file wasn't included with either AmigaOS3.5, 3.9, or any of the Boing Bags. So, when you press the help-key--you don't get help, you get squat.

StAHG fixes both problems in one whack. StAHG builds a list of all of the documents found in the "Help:" assign and its subdirectories (.doc, .dok, .txt, .guide), then creates "Workbench.guide" in the propor location to satisfy the requirements for the "undocumented feature." Once run, "Workbench.guide" is available to the OS, and StAHG does not need to be run again (unless you want to update your "Workbench.guide")

StAHG is a free program. This is AmigaZone's gift back to the community. Of course we would like you to join AmigaZone as a full fledged member.. We do not, however, require that, in order for you to have StAHG. There are no pop-up advertising windows, as this was just a fun way to remind everyone of the wonderful service we offer.¹ and have been offering since the Amiga was born in 1985.

NOTE: Temporarily, you don't have to fill out a form to get StAHG, just click the link at the bottom of the page to download StAHG.

To get StAHG, all you have to do is fill in the form fields below, and mash the [Submit] button. All fields are required. Your information is private and we will keep it that way. The reason we ask for it is to judge where the Amiga community is these days.. where active Amiga owners are. We ask no money. You don't have to enter a credit card number. The program is not a crippled demo and will not time out. It's yours for free, simply by supplying us those three valid pieces of information about yourself.

NOTE: StAHG is (C) Copyright 2002 - 2008, David Crawford, and AmigaZone. It is strictly forbidden to re-upload StAHG to any other online venues anywhere, to package and re-sell it, to include it on User Group or magazine disks or CD-ROMs, or to demand or ask any money for it. This is the sole source for it. However, exceptions can be made on a case by case basis, if your User Group wishes to include StAHG on a "Disk of the Month"--contact an AmigaZone representative. If you see it posted anywhere else, please report it to us so we can take appropriate action.

Thanks, and we hope you enjoy using StAHG.

Cordially,

The AmigaZone Staff.
