I recently wrote an MS Windows program that does nothing except call the Windows Help Manager (or whatever it's called) with the name of a given help file. Then I took my company's telephone roster, converted it to a Windows help (.hlp) file. Result - a quick 'n dirty phone directory program. The same scheme could be used for a variety of things. For example, an ASCII chart, an area code directory, the operator precedence rules of C, etc. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to post the source (it's all of about 30 lines). However, to use it you will need the following: (in addition to a C compiler that can generate Windows .exes): 1. a help compiler (HC) 2. a word processor that can do Rich Text Format (e.g. WFW, the word processor in MS Works, etc.) Terrell
