What is this Borland C++ Help Compiler that recent postings have mentioned?
I've just installed BC, but I saw no reference to this component.

The help compiler takes RTF (Rich Text Format) text files and produces
a "binary" file which the microsoft windows help program can use like
other windows help.  RTF is produced by several different programs, an
example being Word for Windows.  It is supposed to be part of BC++,
but may arrive in a seperate package later.  It is necessary for
programs you want to have help within, otherwise, it doesn't matter
too much.

If you're a registered user, Borland should send you the help compiler
separately (it was not included in the first shipment of BC++ 2.0).  Actually
you should probably have gotten it by now (I got mine 2 weeks ago).

Actually, if you bought BC++ 2.0 recently, you may already have it.  I bought
mine 
last week and it was included in the package.  Look for a HC.EXE file.  That is
it.
(At least I think it is, I haven't used it yet).
