Well now we are talking about the Help Compiler, I have a problem with
it.  The screen saver I have written (Resta 2.2) has a help file
with a lot of shg's in it.  The help file is supposed to be visual,
ie: The user clicks on the option he/she wants help on in the help file
and the information comes up.  Because there are so many graphics files
I would expect the help file to be large.   But large is not the word!!
Massive is the word!!  Off hand (I'm not at a computer with the help
file on) is is well over 150k!!  I think getting nearer 200...  The
problem lies with the help compiler with compression turned on saying
that it runs out of memory, even if I have 619k free!!

I hope someone can help,
Stefan
