HTML Help Workshop Help

[Dave Silva]

I was poking around while attempting to program my thesis when I found out that there's already something available that would let me do what I want to do (a dictionary, basically): Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop. It would be easier for me to write the thing like that than coding a program, and easier to distribute. So I set about downloading it.

I was led here. It lists the features available in version 1.4. It also has a link to the 1.4 SDK.

Or so it claims.

ALL links at Microsoft's site only link to version 1.33, which hasn't been updated in over three years. Version 1.4 fixes a ton of bugs and adds support for Unicode; and I can't find it ANYWHERE! It's supposedly free, but I can't find any mention of it or an alternate download site.

I'm hoping people here know where to find it, or if I have to pay a fee to use it. I really need it.

Anyone?

Just search for freeware html help progs... here's a link:

I used the HTML help from microsoft a long time ago, and it was pretty hard to work with, not very user friendly.

Thanks... I wanted to use Microsoft's own tools to ensure 100% compatibility, but I'll look around those options as well.

RobDog888:
Sorry, that link goes back to the download page for 1.33.

The MSDN site is confusing because it only mentions 1.4, not 1.33. I'm really confused now...

Same here. I downloaded the sdk but I didnt run the installation all the way through as I am running on my server right now. Did you try installing it too? They reference 1.4 so many times throughout the section that I find it hard to believe that they made a type-o. Maybe they made a mistake and placed the 1.3 download where is was supposed to be 1.4. Still so many perople should have made them aware by now.
