- WHAG.ZIP
- The file WHAG.ZIP contains the .DOC files to the Windows Help Authoring
- Guide. It was written by Microsoft, though it was never published
- anywhere. It appeared on the Developer's Network CD-ROM as a multi-media
- viewer file. After much complaining on CompuServe, the .DOC files were
- uploaded there by Emily Brooks of Microsoft (thanks Emily!).
-
- They describe virtually everything you'd ever want to know about how to
- create a hypertext file that works with Winhelp.Exe, for either Windows
- 3.0 or 3.1. You can create a help file that works with an application
- you've written, or you can write it as a stand-alone hypertext document.
-
- You should also get WHAT.ZIP which contains tools to help you create
- Help. Instructions for using what you find in WHAT are contained within
- WHAG.

- HAG.ZIP
- The file HAG.ZIP contains HAG.HLP. Before MS uploaded the .DOC files, I
- copied and pasted the raw text from the multi-media file and reformatted
- it as a .HLP file so that it could be used by my department to create
- Windows Help files. As soon as I finished, MS uploaded WHAG.ZIP. It was
- a somewhat duplicated effort, but HAG does have the advantage of being
- online and searchable.
-
- I also added the neat Table of Contents.
-
- CAVEAT
- There are many, many references to graphics in the both files. However,
- since the book was never finished, the graphics were never added and,
- thus, there are no graphics to be found. But it works for the most part,
- despite the lack of graphic examples.
-
- Enjoy!
