Is there some utility (not WinUAE

) that will read AmigaGuide files on a PC??

Try WinGuide:

It seems to be for Windows 95 - I'm not sure if it works on later versions.

I've tried Win98 and 2000 and it works on both.

Works on xp, has problems with links sometimes, but that is a problem with the program handling the guide format.
Pretty good anyway.

Interesting... I was looking for such a program too ( for linux ).

It's called Amiga Guide Reader and it can be downloaded from aminet

A problem I have with WinGuide is that if a .guide file is located in a directory with spaces in the name, it doesn't seem to be able to find the file, so I end up having to move the file to the root or some dir with no spaces...
