Why would you avoid , e.g., Bristol Hyper Help? Is it because the conversion
didn't work or because there were troubles integrating it with the
application. I never got the integrating with the application stage, but I
did convert a help file created in Windows 95 using ForeHelp. Once I made
sure there were no DOS path names involved HyperHelp compiled the help file
just fine and it worked just like the Windows version.
