VB AHA!!!
Copyright (C) Craig Villalon 1993-1994 All Rights Reserved

This program is Shareware, you may evaluate if for a period of no more than 30
days. After this time you must either register (read Registering below and
REGISTER.TXT) or remove it from your system. Failure to comply with this
condition is a violation of the law. I have not crippled this program in any
way so I am relying on your honesty. Please register if you use this program
for more than the trial period.
==============================================================================

WHAT IS VB AHA!!!
-----------------
  VB AHA!!! is an inexpensive and easy to use utility for writing Windows help
files. You won't need any expensive wordprocessors or have to use any cryptic
commands. With simple mouse clicks and Drag n Drop ease you will be able to
construct your help files quickly.

  If you use Visual Basic then VB AHA!!! will handle all of the HelpContextID
values for you and even recompile your programs with the new values. No more
hassles of having to insert the values by hand! If you program in C/C++ or
Pascal then VB AHA!!! will create a header file containing all of the
definitions that you will need for context sensitive help in your programs.

REQUIREMENTS
------------
 Microsoft Windows 3.1
 HC.EXE - the Microsoft Help Compiler (this and SHED.EXE, the segmented hyper-
          graphics editor, will be sent to you free of charge when you register).
          Please note that these two programs are Microsoft's and that I am not
          selling them. If you have internet access then you can ftp these from
          ftp.cica.indiana.edu as what.zip. I believe that they are also on
          Microsoft's Developer Network CD's and CompuServe.

INSTALLATION
------------
  In the interest of saving you download time I have not included an install
program. Just place all of the files, except the following 2, in the same
directory. You will need the Visual Basic runtime library VBRUN300.DLL and
CMDIALOG.VBX in your windows\system directory. VBRUN300.DLL can be found on
almost any BBS that carries windows programs, just search for VBRUN or ask
the SYSOP. I can no longer include vbaha.aha, the project I used to make the
online help for VB AHA!!!, in the shareware version as it uses features that
are only in the registered version. It is included in the registered version
though. Instead I'm including example.aha as an example of some of what can
be done with VB AHA!!!.
