SOFTRONICS ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF UNIVERSALHELP,
A NEW HELP AUTHORING TOOL FOR WINDOWS AND OS/2
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Softronics, Inc. today announced the release of
UniversalHelp, a new software tool for creating on-line Help for Windows and
OS/2.
UniversalHelp is the first product of its type for simultaneous authoring of
Windows and OS/2 Help and will export Windows RTF and OS/2 IPF source files
on demand. UniversalHelp is an interactive WYSIWYG authoring environment
that simulates the Windows help system, and features point-and-click defining of
"hypertext controls", testing of "hypertext jumps", and creation of "popup
definition topics" on-the-fly. Windows and OS/2 Help authors will never
again have to struggle with footnotes, hidden text, or "markup" tags.
UniversalHelp will import existing RTF and IPF source files for interactive
WYSIWYG editing, updating, and exporting to Windows RTF and OS/2 IPF source
files.
"We believe UniversalHelp meets a very specific need of software publishers
and multinational MIS departments," said F. Scott Pierce, president of
Softronics. "With the release of Windows 3.x and OS/2 2.0, more and more
developers are creating applications for both environments. Using
UniversalHelp, they will be able to cut their effort in half."
UniversalHelp is used in conjunction with Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0.
Using Word as a platform provides the user full access to all of its
features, including spelling checker, thesaurus, grammar checker, glossary,
and on-the-fly table and list creation.
Softronics is offering a special introductory offer to purchase UniversalHelp
for $245. To order, contact Softronics, Inc., 5085 List Drive, Colorado
Springs, CO 80919, Phone 800/225-8590 (sales) or 719/593-9540,
Fax 719/548-1878.
