Subject to the version of Delphi and the operating system run by the client I would say that the integration of .chm help files is almost trivial from the application point of view (add hh.pas) and allows much more informative help with images and example screen shots.
You do need a good help generator/archiving system - we use Robohelp, but there are several available. $0.02 Stephen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alister Christie Sent: Tuesday, 12 October 2004 3:03 p.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: [DUG-Offtopic] .CHM vs .HLP We're finally getting round to writing some significant help files for our applications. We've been using .hlp files, but are wondering about switching to .chm. I understand delphi does not support .chm files directly and was wondering how the community is dealing with this - any suggestions? -- Alister Christie Computers for People Ph: 04 471 1849 Fax: 04 471 1266 http://www.salespartner.co.nz PO Box 13085 Johnsonville Wellington _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic Disclaimer : This communication contains information that is confidential and the copyright of ensynergy Limited or a third party.
