I was wondering about this. A lot of companies not associated with Peter
Norton in any way has released databases (.NG files) for use with Norton
Guides in support of their products. Recently I came across the QEDIT.NG
package and started to wonder...

Is the database compiler (decompiler?) part of the standard NG package or is
it a stand alone product? - Maybe part of the NG program itself?

Is the format of the .NG files in the public domain?

Is there a PD or ShareWare product that also can create those .NG files?

	Any hints would be appreciated!
