Re: Why go to HTMLHelp?
The OLH application I am working on has 1 very basic reason for moving to
HTMLHelp (actually, NetHelp). The application that it supports is moving to
a Java GUI. Because the application will be platform-independent, naturally
the Help should be. I suspect this is why many OLH apps are migrating to be
HTML-based. The side benefit (for me) is that it is fun to work with a new
technology, and I am thrilled to develop some new expertise.
