Hi, i've been fiddling with a few different apps for making windows help files. Finally settled on "Help Creator" freeware from http://www.breittechnologies.com A very simple and functional interface, WSIWYG (but pictures not shown until compiled). After struggling with SOME of the available products from the net HelpCreator was a dream to use. Especially compared to a RTF word processor and the M$ Help Workshop, what a nightmare that was! HelpCreator compiles the .hlp file itself, no need to download the M$ help workshop. However I found that the help project can be completed using Helpcreator interface, and the files simply run through M$ workshop at the end to provide the compression. Just in case people want to make .hlp files and don't want to go through the headach of downloading lots of crap over-priced and over-complicated programs like I did. :o) -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
