DESCRIPTION:    Easily create Win help files for your applications.


COMMENTS:

IMPORTANT: This program needs to see the runtime Clarion Dll's
           for Clarion4. The exe is compiled as a standalone.

Build Win help files with the demo program to see some of what
the program can do.


Simple Help Assistant Demo

Simple Help Assistant comes as a package consistng of:

1. Simple Help Assistant(SHA) Dll's(16 and 32 bit) for CW4.

2. One Global template for CW4 Clarion and ABC templates. No local
   compiles allowed. And a utility template to run from the
   application for the purpose of importing help ids into the
   simple help assistant DLL program.

3. Clarion for Dos 3.x help file extractor. Extracts all screen text and
   text from any ascii files called in the Clarion for Dos help file.
   Extracts into the same topspeed file format as the one used by Dll's
   above and EXE below. You can then use the CFD help file data in your
   CW programs with the simple help assistant program.

4. A stand alone EXE for creating help files. It creates Win help files
   like the Dll but you can name the data file that holds the help id
   information. The EXE resides in the \bin directory, so you can run
   it from any directory. You select the location of the data file or
   create a new data file. The Win help file gets created in the data
   files directory location. It automatically creates the CONTENTS help
   id but the remaining help ids are created by you. Great for quickly
   creating template help files, indexed information help files
   etc.
