Re: Modifying help files
What if we just use plain HTML for windows and launch the users browser of choice just like we do on UNIX? I am sure we could write some code that would allow us to have contextual help for the different dialogs... If we do this then the same help could be used for most platforms and it can be changed only where necessary... this is something we could shoot for for the next major release after 2.1 (3.0 grin)... elrod Julie Belote wrote: Hello Mike, You have probably seen my last two emails regarding the help files and HTML.

Re: Modifying help files
Forwarded from Julie, the Help goddess... For the Window's builds I use a software tool called RoboHelp. It's not an "open source" program. However any help I build with it is licensed for use with that product. It's a very expensive program and I doubt Victor would want to spend $900.00 dollars to change the help. Of course, there are lots of applications out there that can be used to change help files, probably even some shareware...I use RoboHelp because it's the industry standard. I would be happy to get Victor's comments on what he wants changed in the help. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev
RE: Modifying help files
Well I want to traslate the Help to Spanish =), then I think that I can buy this software (Robohelp) and try to do it. =) and what about the Linux's build? what program do you use? Thanks Victor ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev
