- The Help file format is somewhat proprietary to MS; it is NOT possible to
- 'get at the text' with Borlands excellent Resource Workshop, and there is no
- known (known to me) tool to do things like that. For completely unknown
- reasons MS won't let information about the .hlp format get out of them.
- As for the printing method via Winhelp, that's not as good as it should be;
- you can only print a so-called 'theme' and not the whole story, and you cannot
- change the fonts used to somewhat more legible.
-
- A 'help' workshop is urgently needed !
