>>I am looking for a tool that supports the construction of an online documentation system to work under Windows. One such system is the standard help system available in Windows itself via F1/"Help". I'd like to know if that is available; I'd also like info on more sophisticated alternatives.<< The built-in Windows Help system is probably the most popular and easiest to do. There are a number of tools for constructing Windows Help files. If you're converting an existing document to Help format, you should try Doc-To-Help from Wextech. If you're building one from scratch, you should look at RoboHelp from Blue Sky Software, or check out the many shareware programs available, such as Visual Help and Helllp!. Microsoft's "second generation" Help system is the Multimedia Viewer. It supports a number of features that standard WinHelp doesn't, including full-motion video and 256 colors. You might want to give that a try as well. >>This is probably the wrong forum on which to inquire about this. If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could direct me to the appropriate forum.<< This is a perfect forum to discuss this in. <g> Good luck with your search.
