   HELPC is a Z-System help utility.   It  is similar to HELP53 except that it
can handle crunched files whereas  HELP53  handled  squeezed files.   Although
similar in function to HELP53,  HELPC was actually derived from  LBRHLP by Bob
Peddicord because the source code for  HELP53  was not available.   HELPC thus
contains all the fixes that were  recently  made to  LBRHLP plus the following
new features:

   o  Wheel byte control of print options
   o  Configuration via ZCNFG

 HELPC Notes 

   a. Version 1.1 updates (2/8/91, Howard Goldstein):
      - Fixed a bug in the search  for the  alternate directory during display
        of built-in help message.
      - Now properly handles help  files  created in Wordstar Document Mode as
        did HELP53.

   b. Version 1.2 updates (2/20/91, Terry Hazen)
      - Added test for printer ready using bios listst call.  
      - Added ptrchk flag in  configuration  area  for  those systems like the
        QX10 that don't like the listst call.
