David,
Bummer.That wasn't the answer I was hoping for. I agree conversion from
the proprietary development environment would be, at the very least, difficult
and, worse yet, probably not something I am capable of doing. Thanks for your
reply and explanation.
For benefit of others who may pass this way, I did discover that I can create
something similar to a help file by opening my Chrome browser on the file
K3Util.htm located in the folder Help-K3. So, for example, in my browser
address space (where the http:// address usually goes) I inserted
"file:///home/lj/Desktop/K3/Help-K3/K3Util.htm" This mostly works but is
missing a diagram or two which you have to fish out yourself. This would
probably work on the P3Util package also. Not a well integrated solution but
a work around while we wait for Real Studio to support 64bits.
