Subject:more info on URGENT: Bug in RoboHelp 5 From:"Tamminga, Ernie" <et -at- DSC -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 7 Nov 1997 09:52:05 -0800
Additional info: Graphics hotspots work IF are links to full-fledged
TOPICS.
The hotspots that FAIL to work are links to Mid-Topic IDs.
BOTH kinds of link work properly in the compiled WinHelp version.
Mid-Topic links fail in the HTML help generated from the same files.
