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.
>>I've inherited a large on-line help system chock full of .shg files
(some variation of bitmap, it appears) that I'd like to pull into an
image-editing program and update. The hitch: none of my graphics
programs have ever heard of a .shg file and neither have I.
In the manual or online help for the program used to create the help
system, look for references to graphics, hotspots, multiple hotspots,
and hypergraphics. This should put you on the track.
It may also be worth the time and effort to put through a telephone
call to the technical support people for the program and ask for any
advice you can get.
