I believe Microsoft sells a Windows Help file "compiler" though I don't
know if it is sold as a separate item. I think it comes with the Windows
SDK and the Pro version of Visual Basic, if I'm not mistaken. And in regard
to your first post with this subject I don't think files compiled with
this system will run outside Windows.
