Geneva Help is based on the Pure-C help system. It's format is very easy
to use and is compressed. It supports changing the screen font, cutting
to the Atari Clipboard, and a couple other nice things. Currently it is
part of the Geneva operating system. It is quite easy to write a
hypertext document for it.
However, it would be very easy to write an external DA for
non-multitasking systems (external PRG for multitasking systems). We
might not have a problem with it (including letting people use it free of
charge) as long as people are interested.
The only thing is that in its current version, it does not support
pictures or sounds. I imagine that someone could add this in the future
(especially if we were to release source too).
