ngdb - A Python library for reading Norton Guide database files

Introduction

Back in the mists of time, in the days of MS-DOS and Clipper programming, Norton Guide database files were a very popular form of hypertext help. Lots of information is still kicking around inside such files.

This library is another in a reasonably long line of tools I've written to help keep that information available.

Installing

ngdb is available from pypi and can be installed with pip or similar Python package tools:

$ pip install ngdb

Using

See the main documentation for details on using the library.

Hacking

If you want to hack on the code yourself you'll find most of the routine stuff you'd do when testing and the like in the Makefile. Type:

$ make

to get a list of available targets.
