* Introduction *
*******************************************************************************
RC2HDK is a program that takes Windows RC (Resource Description) files, and
creates a HLPDK help template from it.
Resources are used to describe the part of the program the users see, in here
we define Menu entries, Dialog boxes, Key Accelerators and more. Since the
users need to see help on the program's interface, more than anything else,
the place to look for the help template for your windows programs - is in
the resource file.
RC2HDK takes that file, and creates the template for you, saving you time,
and helping you with the design of your help system. HLPDK is used to
convert the output of RC2HDK to winHelp source files, or - you can even
create the template for your text and word processor documentation from
this same output.
This version of RC2HDK supports Menu and Accelerator resources.
