Subject:WINHelp vs HTML Help From:Darriel Dawne <ddawne -at- infowave -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 10 May 2000 17:04:47 -0700
I am in the process of updating our Help files. They were created in
WINHelp.
I'm thinking of moving them into HTML Help, but there is some resistance. My
company wants to stick with the "lowest common denominator".
Does anyone know of any instances where the HTML Help isn't supported?
Our product is has the following system requirements:
Microsoft NT Workstation 4.0 with Service Pack 5, or Windows 95 OSR2, or
Windows 98, or Windows 2000 Professional.
As far as I know, an HTML Help viewer is standard on these platforms.
Thanks for your input.
