Well, I just recieved the Help Compiler for Windows from Borland also. It sure seems unusable for me. Why? Because it seems to want to deal with files in Rich Text Format (RTF) for all the formatting commands. The documentation says that you can use one of three different word processors for it: 1) Word for DOS 2) Word for Windows 3) Word for MAC (I didn't say they were very different ;-}). Now, I am using the system to learn Windows programming and *not* to produce income. I have no desire to purchase Word in order to do this. What other choices do I have? BTW, maybe they call it Rich Text Format because it will make Microsoft rich? :-( --- Barry L.
