OVERVIEW
Welcome to HyperLink for Turbo Pascal!
This package was developed to provide the expert or novice Turbo
Pascal programmer with a simple means for including Hypertext Help into
their own programs. Hypertext Help has become somewhat of a standard.
Programs that have this ability display a much more professional
appearance.
"HyperLink" is intended for users of Turbo Pascal versions 5.0 to 6.0.
Three compiled versions of the HyperLink Unit have been included for this
reason. Source code is available for those who would like to tailor this
program to their own specific needs. You may be surprised to learn that
this help unit is written entirely in Pascal.
This Help utility is very simple to use. No special editor is
required. You will be able to use your own editor (or in many cases, a
word processor) to create the Hypertext Help files. When you make the help
file, you will include simple codes which allow different keywords to be
linked together. No complex linking process is involved. One additional
feature has been provided which gives you the ability to control both the
size and location of the Help window on the screen.

GETTING STARTED
You are off to a good start if you are reading this file first.
1) Run the "HyprDEMO.EXE" program which is included with this package.
This demo program will supply you a brief overview of how to use the
"HyperLink", while at the same time showing you its features. Turbo
Pascal source code is supplied for this DEMO program (located in the
file "HyprDEMO.PAS"). Make a printout, or examine this file before
you try to incorporate the help unit into your own personal programs.
2) Once you have finished experimenting with the demo, you should make a
printout of the HyperLink manual, "HyperLNK.DOC". An order form is
included to make product registration easier.
3) You may also want to make a printout of the file "HyperLNK.TXT". This
will prove to be a good reference when you are creating your own help
files.
