- I am not familiar with the package, but here are (perhaps) a couple
- workarounds:
-
- (1) Use the BC++ 3.0 help screens;
- (2) Copy the Windows 3.1 help engine (WINHELP.EXE?) and associated
- DLLs, if any, to \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2 (?) and see if it works (backup the
- old one first).
- (3) Wait until September for the Win-OS/2 3.1 update.
