Title: Manual Applications
Post by: program4 on December 29, 2010, 08:26:48 pm

Are there any tools to easily make "manual applications" like the one attached for Mimas? I don't have any experience programming applications, but I really want to make a simple application that can hold a LOT of text.

You could try flashbook:

I haven't personally used it before, but I think it fits all of your requirements.

I'll try it, since it seems like the right kind of program. Thanks!

That's exactly what Flashbook does.  (In fact, I used Flashbook to generate the manual there, using an extremely kludgy perl script to convert the HTML user's manual into Flashbook XML format.  I don't recommend my exact method. :P)
