Wondered about this myself, so I left a message in their CIS forum.
I pointed out that their claim to be a complete Windows platform was
bogus if I couldn't make help files. They replied that they had
licensed the MS Help compiler and would eventually provide it to all
registered owners of BC++. (Wonder if they made that decision before
or after reading my message?) Based on the Squeaky Wheel principle,
I'd suggest that everybody who wants/needs this call them up and ask
when they'll actually get round to this.
BTW, it seems to me that the Windows Help Engine would make a nice
general purpose hypertext system.
