- Help files are written using a word processor, then compiled using a
- program called the "Help Compiler". You need a word processor capable of
- producing "RTF" files, of which the best is probably Word for Windows.
-
- The easiest way to write help files is using Microsoft's (unsupported)
- "Windows Help Project Editor", WHPE, available from CompuServe and
- (presumably) ftp.uu.net too. This consists of the help compiler itself,
- a program to maintain the help project file, and a very complete set of
- Word for Windows macros which make it easy to write the help topics.
