Most Helpful Customer Reviews   6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: WinHelp - it's back from the dead, and doesn't require IE!, February 22, 2000 By  Michael Hoffman (Egodeath.com) - See all my reviews    It is hilarious and telling that this book has been put back into print recently. That indicates how successful HTML Help has been as a standard (it's not cross-browser, not cross-platform, and not good for single-sourcing in a .chm and website, due to unresolved ActiveX objects). This book is the standard on WinHelp, which is officially back from the dead, and it's a fine book, covering principles of hypertext design, authoring tools, and the bells and whistles supported by the WinHelp viewer. The one patch needed for WinHelp, though, is Synchronize Table of Contents (and a persistent navigation window).  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

But I plan to read the rest. One day, my cowoker came to me with a book in his hand, "Hey! buddy, you should read this book if you want to work with .HLP." In the afternoon I went to a bookstore and took the book(It's not inexpensive). As a beginner, I have learned a lot of information about .HLP. I'm now looking for the upgrade edition of the book. Thank you everybody. Be happy all of you.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) Share your thoughts with other customers:  ›
