TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
There are a couple of books on the market, *Developing Online Help for
Windows 95" by Boggan, Farkas, & Welinske, (beginning/intermediate
audience) and * Designing Windows 95 Help: A Guide for Creating Online
Documents* by Deaton & Lockett-Zubak (intermediate/advanced audience).
Both books (which are invaluable for less-than-expert help authors)
include sections evalauting winhelp tools. Cheryl Lockett-Zubak also
published a booklet called (something like) *A Real-World Look at Help
Authoring Tools* and she and Mary Deaton both conduct seminars on how to
choose an authoring tool.
