MiniHelp Plus v3.21 allows users to "tie together" a lot of the tools they already have and are comfortable with to create Windows Help files. With MiniHelp Plus v3.21, a user can launch their favorite ASCII text editor, with or without their current Help file project already loaded in. User's can view/edit the RTF, HPJ and context-sensitive Help Header files at the click of a mouse button. Also, users can view/edit the graphics in their Help file project in one of the graphic file formats supported by Windows Help (bitmaps, hot spot graphics, or Windows metafiles) at the click of a mouse button. MiniHelp Plus v3.21 is fully configurable, allowing the user to specify the ASCII text editor, graphics editor, hot spot editor, and version of the Help Compiler he/she wants to use, as well as select several options for the performance of MiniHelp Plus v3.21.
