- Subject: changing NB.HLP problems
- Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

- I was investigating possibilities of modifying the NB.HLP file,
- along the lines Itamar Even Zohar and Tony Woozley showed about
- 3.x's HELP file (see NB-HLP01.ZIP at the NB archives) - actually
- trying to incorporate Itamar's new virtual TOC generator for 4.0.
- The problem was this: my non-lingua, early August, ibid (+?) NB 4.0
- could neither STORE nor SAVE the NB.HLP file correctly. Even
- Opening the original NB.HLP and saving in under another name
- produced a file different in length and some other features
- (towards the end of the file). I recall Teun van Dijk mentioned
- problems that could have been due to his customizing the NB.HLP file.
- However, Itamar tell me he has no similar problem with his program.
-
- Has anyone else, perhaps with non-Lingua NB 4.0, tried modifying
- NB.HLP? And which date do your program files have?
-
- This is, of course, a query I should first put to NBI, but given the
- time zones, the non-applicability of the 800-numbers, and the reports
- of attempts to get through to them from two blocks away, I post this
- here.
