"Component writers that do not at least take a quick look
at GenHelp are doing themselves a HUGE disservice. Some of you
may remember that I posted a message in this group a few weeks ago
looking for a WYSIWYG help authoring tool that supports component
writers. Well shortly after that I rediscovered GenHelp. I gotta
tell ya, it is a GREAT tool for anyone that needs to build a help
file for VCL components. I used to use HelpScribble, which is a
great tool as well. But GenHelp is *specifically* geared for
generating help files for VCL components. That fact makes it THE
most productive tool I found to do that job. After my intitial
evaluation of GenHelp I knew that I would switch to GenHelp if only
its author would be responsive. We exchanged several messages and I
eventually gave him a laundry list of suggestions (mostly for
improved productivity) and bugs (most of them minor). In the short
span of a few weeks, Pete has fixed the bugs and added most of my
suggestions. Needless to say, his support has exceeded my
expectations. You can register GenHelp for $60. In my opinion
GenHelp is worth much more than that. I told Pete he should double
or triple the price, but I see it's still at $60. You should hurry
up and register before he changes his mind. ;-) "

I have downloaded the demo, decided that it is the best thing
since sliced bread, and have placed an order! It's very easy and
intuitive to use, and produces help files that seem to follow the
same format as Borland's own. Suddenly, the thought of documenting
my classes and components doesn't seem so daunting - it could even
be fun!

I am a very happy user of Help and Manual (and remain so), but
specifically for component help, I've never found anything that
comes close to this program.
