> Is anyone familiar with the program Universal Help by Softronics
Inc.? I need a
tool which can convert RTF files for Windows help to the OS/2 IPF
format.
Universal Help will convert the files, but some editing of search
key words is
needed in order to adapt the files to the functionality of the OS/2
Help
search.

We do a fair amount of OS/2 help development. We have
Universal Help and Mirrors. Mirrors is something
of a standard tool for developing OS/2 help, which is damning
with faint praise. I haven't found any OS/2 tools that I'm
at all impressed with yet.
