VB AHA!!!
Copyright (C) Craig Villalon 1993 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 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++ then
VB AHA!!! will create a .H file containing all of the #defines 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 have included vbaha.aha, the .aha project that I created for
the online help, as a demo of what can be done with VB AHA!!!.

REGISTERING
-----------
  Fill out REGISTER.TXT to register. When you do register you will recieve the
latest version of VB AHA!!!. Note: if you upload VB AHA!!! to a BBS to get a
discount on the registration price please upload it as VBAHA11.ZIP (or the
current version number, ie. VBAHA115.ZIP for version 1.15). If they don't have
VBRUN300.DLL please upload it also (unless this would cost you too much, ie.
long distance).

  For foreign orders you may send cash (be certain to insure it) in your local
currency. Add US$10 to the total and send an equivalent amount in your currency
using the current exchange rate. If you don't know the current exchange rate a
bank should be able to tell you.

  If you decide not to register please send me a message describing what you
would like to see in VB AHA!!! that you found lacking. I would like a chance
to change your mind. I'm constantly adding new capabilities (as you can see
in HISTORY.TXT) and I would like to know what you would like to see so I can
implement that as well.
