1. Windows help

Hi everybody,

        I guess you've all seen the HTM hypertext version of library.doc (in my
 homepage). Well, I'm finishing
some Euphoria code to convert ALL Euphoria docs into HTM (and break them into
 various files), and I got the
idea of making them also in Windows .hlp format. But I don't know nothing about
 .hlp files. I guess it's
needed some kind of compiler, does anybody knows where to get such a thing? Is
 it free?
        Thanks for your cooperation,

Daniel, there is a shareware program out there that allows you to
make Windows Help files. I suggest you check the big FTP sites like
oak.oakland.edu. I know I saw something like that in an FTP site.

Thanks

,
I've done some investigation by my own, and guess what... I finally got
        the !@#
???!! Windows Help
Compiler (it's at Miscrosft FTP), but the trouble is it has *NO* instructions. B
ut I got some information
about that too, but guess what... .hlp's are created from 2 file, one has the se
ttingd and the other is the
contents.. in RTF format!!! Hmmm.. I guess I'll have to learn RTF (besides HTM)

        Bye,

Hi everybody,

        I've just finished the new enhanced version of the .hlp file. Some
error were corrected and now you can browse it thru the area of application
field too. You may download it from my homepage.

        Bye,

I must apologize,

due to my unexpirience in RTF files (used to make the .hlp) I commit
the most horrible sin: didn't take care of escape codes(\). This
resulted in and .hlp that didn't display the "\","{", and "}"
characters. I fixed this manually (took some time), but is now
ready. If you have recently downloaded the file please check if
it displays the "{" or "}" charcaters (check it out in the
'append' function), if it doesn't you may download the corrected
version from my homepage.

Absolutly guilty,
