I have googled for a reader for this format but can't find one. I found a web page claiming to read this format but it didn't work.

Am I misunderstanding something? The file is under /docs/quick_guide in the repository. for fpGUI on github.

Hi Mikael,

It might be docview, which you will have to build from source. https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/tree/develop/docview

Hints of Eliza's bucket, as this is the "Quick" guide :-)

Cheers,
Peter

On 2nd thoughts it is probably not docview.
I built docview, but it will not open this file.
Docview files are .inf not .ipf

However, it is plain text, so readable in any text editor, but no neat formatting of course.

ipf files are the uncompiled project files for inf files. There's an exe here you can propably run with wine to compile it

https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/tree/develop/tools/wipfc

Then I think you can read it with Docview.

Yes, thank you. I found out about wipfc.
Unfortunately the quick_quide seems partly unimplemented. But there are lots of examples and other docs, so. it's good anyway.

Regard
