I'm trying to get the helpfile finished for my application, but I'm running
into a little trouble.  The only trouble I'm having is creating the .IPF file
that I compile with IPFC.  Currently I'm using Describe (a very nice OS/2
word processor) to write the help text.  I then save the file in RTF.  My
coworker wrote a RTF to IPF converter, but it needs a little work.

So I was wondering if there was some other way to generate a .IPF file.  I'd
rather not type it by hand, as my app currently has over 250 help pages, and
it grows daily.

If you have any suggestions or help, please email or post.

Thanks in advance!
