Product Overview


HyperHelp is a feature-rich, on-line help system for UNIX that lets you quickly and easily add a powerful hypertext help system to your application. HyperHelp provides all the features you expect from an on-line help system, including a simple user interface, hypertext capabilities, context-sensitive functionality, key-word and full-text searching, and printing support. In addition, HyperHelp provides many advanced features. A powerful macro language lets you control the appearance and behavior of HyperHelp.

With its easy-to-use interface, powerful features, and flexible authoring support, HyperHelp is the best solution for providing on-line help with any UNIX application. And HyperHelp's single-function API makes it easy to integrate the industry standard for on-line UNIX help into your application!

Key Features and Benefits


Easy to Use

Add on-line Help by following these easy steps:

1. Create help files using FrameMaker, Word, WordPerfect, or an existing help system from a Microsoft Windows application.

2. Integrate into your application with 1 API

3. Compile and Link - AND YOU'RE DONE!

Help Files

Can be authored either using Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or Lotus Ami Pro which output files to Rich Text Format (RTF), FrameMaker which outputs to MIF format, Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), or any text editor such as vi or emacs. No programming expertise is required to create the help files.

HyperHelp.hlp files

Are created by the HyperHelp compiler from the RTF, MIF, SGML, or text files and are completely compatible across different platforms.

Single function API

Interaction between the application and the HyperHelp Viewer occurs through a single function; the function call is exactly the same as the help function in MS Windows.

MS Windows Help Look and Feel

Includes keyword and full text search, secondary windows, history, and macro support; HyperHelp even accepts the same RTF, project, and bitmap files as MS Windows Help.

HyperHelp Bridge

The Bridge allows MIF and SGML users to keep one documentation source base for both HyperHelp on UNIX and Microsoft WinHelp on Windows.

Prerequisite


Motif 1.1 or higher
