Over the past few years many Amiga software authors including myself have used Heddley to create AmigaGuide files. When I registered Heddley way back in July 1995 Edd sent me the latest version (V1.20ß) that he had completed. Though there are a few minor imperfections in the program, considering that it was a beta release it has proved extremely stable in everyday use. This version also includes new features such as error checking.

Many years have now elapsed since its last release on Aminet. Having been delighted with Heddley I wondered what had become of the program and its author. I knew that the details in the documentation were completely out of date, but after a few minutes searching with Alta-Vista I found his current web site which included a current email address.

I wrote to him to find out what the current situation with Heddley was. Sadly it is no longer being developed as Edd has moved onto other things (see his web site for details). However, he did generously agree that I could upload this newer version to Aminet that has a number of new features that make it worthy of inclusion.

All the address's mentioned in the documentation are now out of date. His current email and web site address's are at the top of this readme.

The GUIFront library (V38.1), and GUIFront preferences Editor by Michael Berg are also required. These can be found on Aminet dev/gui/gfront12.lha.

I have not taken over the development of Heddley, I am merely acting as a go-between to get this new version on to Aminet. Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary programming ability either.

If any further details become available they will be posted here.

The copyright status of Heddley has not changed and the shareware fee is still the same as mentioned in the documentation. Though I doubt there will ever be a new version of Heddley, in my opinion it is well worth this small amount. Please contact Edd directly by email should you want to send him a shareware payment.
