1. Microsoft Windows 95 Help Authoring Kit (ISBN: 1-55615-892-0)
This kit contains a book on authoring Windows 95 help, as well
as a CDROM containing the new help compiler, online help for
the compiler, and other tools. It costs $49.95 plus shipping
and handling, and is available from Microsoft Press
(phone 1-800-MS-PRESS).
2. Help Author's Guide, or HAG (from HCW.HLP)
This guide is provided in Winhelp format and is part of
the Help Workshop, which is provided in the MS Win32 SDK, or the
Microsoft Windows 95 Help Authoring Kit. Jack Downing
has created a PS file of the HAG, which you can copy and
print. It is located in:
tnpubs::public$disk:[public.winhelp.tools]HAG.PS
\\TNPUBS\WINHELP\TOOLS\HAG
You should also see the documentation provided with either
RoboHelp 95, or Doc-to-Help V2.0. (Several procedures are
tool-specific.)

| I received a pointer to an STC web site from Karl Harkarainen.
I pulled a newsletter, which is formatted as a help file,
and placed it in:
\\tnpubs\public\winhelp\stc.hlp
In addition to it being a creative presentation of a newsletter,
it has an article comparing Robohelp to Doc-to-Help. Frankly, I saw
nothing in the article that hasn't already been noted by the
Robohelp and D2H users. But it's a good comparison for those
of you unfamiliar with either or both tools.
