Creating Norton Guides Source Files
 
     A Norton Guides database is created from two different kinds
     of source files:
 
          Data Source Files
                   contain the text that appears in the
                   Guides Window; and the
 
          Menu Link Control File
                   defines the menu structure
 
     You write the text that will appear in your database into data
     source files. Each data file is then compiled, to produce a
     corresponding Norton Guides Object File.
 
     In addition to the data source files that contain the text of
     the database, you need to write a single menu link control
     file that defines the menu structure of the database, and
     names the menus and menu items. The linker then uses this
     control file to stitch all the compiled NG object files into a
     single Norton Guides Database file.
 
     All source files are standard ASCII. You can name source files
     with any extension you wish (or none at all), except `.ng',
     which is reserved for the compiled and linked database, and
     `.ngo', which is reserved for compiled object files.
 
     To continue this tutorial, use the "seealso" window at the top
     of the screen to learn more about data source files: just
     press the Enter key display the entry on Data Source Files.
