Hi guys, Now for the stinking help system. <groan> I have a customer that is insisting on .chm format help soo... does anyone have suggestions on a good Freeware/Shareware help authoring program that will do both (.hlp and .chm) formats?? I am looking at HelpPad and HelpScribble but they are both failing to operate correctly. Not doing the same things wrong but neither can produce complete project files for the M$-help-compiler to massage. I can't see what HelpScribble is doing wrong as it is the crippled, eval version and does not show the HTML it generates. HelpPad does not seem to compile the last Topic added to the list and I don't want to add a dummy last one. Doh! So, I am still looking for something that works a little more intuitively. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. -- Grumpy, the Third Dwarf (Dave) ***************************************** If I were taller, I wouldn't be so short!
