Using index or memo file formats other than .NTX or .DBT

     HelpSys 2.xx does not have any hardcoded database or index

product.  HelpSys 2.xx has been tested with FLEXFILE II and COMIX.

     The beginning code segment in the main application looked like
the following:

 Example Beginning Code for FlexFile usage
 .

     Other RDD drivers should be accessible using the same methods.
Refer to your 3rd party documentation for implementation methods.
Here is a summary of the functions available with the HelpSys package.
