I think it comes with most Windows compilers. There are alot of utilities aound that eliminate the need for the compiler/or make it easier to develop such help files. Most of them can read Words or WP documents. Some can do text too. The compiled file then can be viewed by Windows help viewer (winhelp.exe) Check out the ftp sites you are bound to find some. -- :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-) Tooraj Enayati Melbourne Australia tooraj@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au Monash University Robotic and Digital Technology (Graduate/Alumni) Then he said, "Put a smilie and you can get away saying almost anything."
