  "github_readme_excerpt": "Welcome to Expert Guide, a Norton Guide reader for GNU/Linux[1]\n\nTo build eg all you need to do is type \u0027make\u0027. You will need a copy of the\nslang library installed, if you don\u0027t have slang, pop over to\nhttp://www.jedsoft.org/slang/ and get it.\n\nTo install all you need do is type \u0027make install\u0027. Please check the settings\nat the top of the Makefile before building and/or installing.\n\nDocumentation is a little thin on the ground at the moment. There is a man\npage which explains the basics of getting eg running but I still need to\nwrite a user document. However, anyone who has ever used Norton Guide or\nExpert Help should get to grips with Expert Guide with few problems.\n\nPlease direct any feedback to davep@davep.org. The latest version of eg will\nalways be available at \u003cURL:http://www.davep.org/norton-guides/\u003e.\n\neg is developed on and for Linux. It should also compile under DOS using\nDJGPP and slang compiled for DJGPP. It may compile on other systems that\nhave the slang library. If it does, please let me know. If you had to do\nanything special to make it compile, I\u0027d love a patch off of you.\n\nPlease remember to read the files \u0027Changes\u0027, \u0027BUGS\u0027 and \u0027TODO\u0027.\n\nHmm, and that\u0027s it I think. Have fun.\n\nFootnotes:\n[1]  And, perhaps, other Unix clones and Unix platforms[2]. If you make it work\non a different platform please let me know.\n\n[2]  Including macOS, as of December 2015.\n",
