-
- Requirements :
- --------------
-
- 1) PC capable of running Windows95.
-
- 2) Microsoft Help Compiler 32bit, version 4 or greater.
- helpMATIC Pro needs the Windows Help Compiler to compile
- the help files. helpMATIC Pro does not come with this because
- the help compiler is not freely distributable software.
- However, the help compiler is shipped with versions of
- Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++,
- and most other programming languages.
-
- 3) Visual Basic 5 run time DLL, MSVBVM50.DLL
- To keep the size of the helpMATIC Pro file set down it was
- decided not to distribute the Visual Basic 5 run time dll
- with the program files. The main reason for this was to
- shorten download times as the file is nearly 1.5Mb in size.
- There is a good chance that you may already have this file
- on your system because it is distributed with a large number of
- applications and shareware programs. Follow these simple steps
- check whether or not you have a copy of the file on your computer :
-
- If you have got Microsoft Visual Basic 5 installed on your computer
- then you have the file.
-
- otherwise:
-
- 1) Click on the Windows 'Start' button and select 'Find',
- 'Files or Folders...'
- 2) Type 'msvbvm50.dll' and click on 'Find Now'
- 3) If the file is found it will be listed, if not then
- you will need to download a copy.
-
- You can download the DLL file from :
-
- http:\\users.aol.com\harbsg\vbdll.html
-
-
