This has the following benefits: 1. Supported in all Windows versions (no matter the default browser) 2. Rich formatted pages (compared to WinHelp) 3. The help pages are immediately available online to the developer's web site Please, do not see this as a "gray" advertisement of my work, but in order to see what I mean just go to http://www.flenik.com/en/DMUSB/Index.html What you will see there is exactly what the program carries as (context-sensitive) help. So, I write once and have it both ways. Unless, you think that giving the potential customer the ability to see your program's documentation without having to install it first, is of no use. -- Nick B. Cassos http://www.flenik.com
