Baldric… like in Black Adder?
There is a program I know of (AmigaGuide is _not_ one of them) that lets you
combine text & graphics and is AmigaGuide compatible. It's called HotHelp3 and
is from Maxon, makers of MaxonTwist2 (according to magazine reviews by far the
fastest DB on the Amiga), MaxonCinema4D, MaxonBasic3 (said to be even
compatible to the original AmigaBasic!), MaxonPascal, MaxonC++3 (AT&T 3.0
standard, class library, fully integrated development with Editor Edward,
Source level debugger (Developer version only), Online Help (guess which
product they use?), MaxonCAD (one of the best 2D CAD programs on the Amiga &
PC), MaxonWord, MaxonPaint, MaxonMagic (Screensaver & more), … my feeling is
they try to be for the Amiga software marketplace what MicroSloth is for the PC
– Jack of all trades, master of… some! I think they deserve to be successful,
the way they still support the Amiga… BTW, HotHelp3 is by Bernstein Zirkel
who once had a PD game out which was called Risk! (like the game by Parker, and
the best version on the Amiga). The HotHelp3 viewer is freely distributable but
you can't actually _create_ projects with that. For that you need the Developer
version which is priced at DM 69 in Germany which is about US$ 45.
