Subject:Online Help Questions From:Mary Beth Fowler <U0016471 -at- HONMFG -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 13 Nov 1997 09:15:49 EST
We are in the process of setting up standards for our online help
systems. I have questions in two areas. Any input would be
appreciated . . .
1. We're thinking about a guideline to delimit the size of help files.
Any ideas for file size considerations, either of the source file or
the .HLP file?
2. We need a tool to archive our help systems. Have you used a good
one? Which of the many Windows help files generated do you archive?
Thanks!
