Xantippe - The Information Structuring Workbench
------------------------------------------------
XANTIPPE.EXE - The executable.
XANTIPPE.XAN - An example data file. The data file was used
to create the help system for Xantippe.
XANTIPPE.HLP - The Xantippe help file.
What's New
----------
1) Xantippe can now create the HPJ and cross-reference header file for
Windows Help. Using the Build command you can create these files
and run the help compiler from within Xantippe.
2) Xantippe can create data files for the QuickHelp compiler, helpmake.
You can either create the file with a Save As and run the compiler
yourself or use the Build command to create the QuickHelp data file
and run the compiler.
3) Xantippe can read RTF files. Using the Open command you have the option
of opening a Xantippe data file or RTF data file. Each page in the RTF
file is placed in its own text card. You must have hard page breaks or
the whole document will appear in one text card.
4) Under the Project menu there is a new Preferences option. From this
option you can set whether card ids are to be displayed and edited as
hex or decimal values. You can also set a flag to decide if you should
be prompted to rename a card when you create it.
5) You can now use the cards in the browser when linking. When you create
a link you can now click on the name of the card in the browser as well
as the cards window. Remember cards that are underlined in the browser
are just placeholders and are not "real" cards, therefore you cannot
click on these card names to create a link.
I'd appreciate any feedback or bug reports. I am currently trying to
improve the online documentation so any comments on the documentation
would be greatly appreciated.
If you find this program useful, please register it! Refer to program
for online documentation and inforamtion on how to register.
I have had reports of a conflict with Stacker. If you have Stacker
and are having problems running Xantippe, try removing Stacker.
Thanks...
