Setup :

If you experience errors (file not found) when compiling your help file,
your system may not be compatible with the default helpMATIC PIF file.
(I have however tested helpMATIC under most user configurations and this
error should not occur, but I have included this fix just in case.)

Do the following to fix the problem :

Use the Pif Editor (program called pifedit.exe installed in your windows 
directory) to change the 'Program Filename' setting for the file HELP.PIF
(This file can be found in the directory helpMATIC was installed.) 

In the Program Filename box type the full path where helpMATIC was installed 
and '\.bat".
For example if helpMATIC was installed in the directory c:\winapps\helpmtic,
then type c:\winapps\helpmtic\help.bat

More detailed information on this can be found in the on-line help under 'Setup'.
