I would recommend that anyone interested in this documentation download it from Anthonys' site since it is combined into a Winhlp32.exe compatible format. From what I've seen of the help file generated by the files there, it appears to be well thought out and fairly straight-forward when it comes to navigation. The funet.fi site also has the files (ftp.funet.fi: /pub/win-nt/win-32). However, they don't go together very well when one attempts to use the .bat program included at the site itself. > > The ftp.funet.fi site has the wh307c.zip file...which is required to run > > the help file created from the above files. > > > > You can find it at ftp.funet.fi: /pub/msdos/windows/util if you need it. > I combined the files, and then downloaded the wh307c.zip file. > > The winhelp.exe included within the wh307c.zip file does not recognize > api32wh.hlp as a windows help file. After downloading and running the .bat file from Anthonys' site, everything came together nicely. I've also put together an archive based on the data I downloaded from Anthonys' site. My version is a single 4.02M file. I'd be happy to upload it somewhere convenient if anyone has any suggestions. Peace, Paul G.
