I've posted a new context checking program, Context Help, to the Gmutant and Onyx Graphics ftp sites. It's also on my web page: http://www.openix.com/~evbacher/winhelp Context Help is similar to Great Help, but the user interface is more flexible. New Features: -16-bit program (runs under Win3.x or Win95) -Resizable window -Find capability (search for text in header file) -Moveable tabs (for those with long context strings) If you use hex context numbers, hang on to Great Help (Context Help wants decimal context numbers). Gmutant ftp site: ftp 198.91.36.126 pub/winhelp/ctxhlp10.zip Onyx Graphics ftp site: ftp ftp.onyxgfx.com pub/winhelp/ctxhlp10.zip ________________________________________ Ed Bacher evbacher@openix.com http://www.openix.com/~evbacher/winhelp from the readme file... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT CONTEXT HELP Context Help is freeware for testing context-sensitive help files. Context Help reads a header file (C-style), whose lines are of the form: #define context_string<TAB>context_number where <TAB> is the tab character, and context_number is an integer, e.g., #define this_is_a_context_string_that_is_pretty_long 3456 What Context Help is actually looking for is the <TAB>context_number sequence, so if you have defined context-sensitive links in your .hpj file, all you really need to do is to make sure you've got <TAB>s between the context_strings and the context_numbers in the [MAP] section of your .hpj file. You can open up the .hpj file in Context Help and scroll down to the [MAP] section or just search for the context string or number you're interested in. Context Help is a 16-bit application, written and tested on Windows for Workgroups 3.11, with winhelp.exe. It also works on WinHelp 3 files running under Windows 95. We haven't tested it on WinHelp 4.0 files yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
