Subject:Context Help - Freeware From:Ed Bacher <evbacher -at- LANDSLIDE -dot- OPENIX -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 21 Feb 1996 20:54:52 GMT
I've posted a new context checking program, Context
Help, to the Gmutant and Onyx Graphics ftp sites.
It's also on my web page: http://www.openix.com/~evbacher/winhelp
Context Help is similar to Great Help, but the user
interface is more flexible.
New Features:
-16-bit program (runs under Win3.x or Win95)
-Resizable window
-Find capability (search for text in header file)
-Moveable tabs (for those with long context strings)
If you use hex context numbers, hang on to Great Help
(Context Help wants decimal context numbers).
What Context Help is actually looking for is the <TAB>context_number
sequence, so if you have defined context-sensitive links in your .hpj
file, all you really need to do is to make sure you've got <TAB>s
between the context_strings and the context_numbers in the [MAP]
section of your .hpj file. You can open up the .hpj file in Context
Help and scroll down to the [MAP] section or just search for the
context string or number you're interested in.
Context Help is a 16-bit application, written and tested on Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, with winhelp.exe. It also works on WinHelp 3 files
running under Windows 95. We haven't tested it on WinHelp 4.0 files yet.
