TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We're testing our application under Windows 2000. When we launched our
Winhelp 2000 help system, and chose the Search tab for the first time, it
generates the full text search file, that enables the Search tab keyword
search. However, instead of generating it in the same folder as the .hlp
file, it puts it in c:\WINNT\Help, where it cannot be accessed. As a result,
the Search tab remains blank. A variation on the same problem occurs under
Windows Terminal Server.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Have you devised a solution? I'm
afraid our best solution at the moment is to generate the FTS and ship it
with the other files. Any suggestions would be helpful. I've already tapped
the Robolist archives and the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Blue-Sky sites.
Thanks.
