FAR 5 installation works well on Kubuntu Karmic Koala. Far4 Installation doesn't work anymore. Step out with an error: runtime error on 216 at 004040C" But My...
Hi ... Probably because you use the same data store data files and they have been converted to Unicode now. Sorry. You can may be able to track down these...
I want to use FAR 4.3.0.681 to create different CHM help by selecting different html files from the same root folder. A different set of files for each help...
Hi Kent Unfortunately this is HTML Help compiler being helpful. :-) During compile it follows all links pulling in files as it goes. To break this up you will...
Hi Rob, Thanks for helping me out. The links were getting added via the TOC file! I deleted the links, and all is well. I really love your FAR HTML! Without...
Thanks Kent for the encouraging comments. Rob At 12:34 AM 9/02/2010, you wrote: Hi Rob, Thanks for helping me out. The links were getting added via the TOC...
hi Tom, ... see here: Converting WinHelp (HLP) to HTMLHelp (CHM) http://www.help-info.de/en/Help_Info_WinHelp/hw_converting.htm#Decompiling and here: Tool Kit...
To add to that helpful response by Suzanne... HH Workshop does have a basic Hlp to HH converter (but all you filenames will come out like GUIDs).. I recommend...
I have a huge CHM that I would like to shrink. In the FAR TOC & Index Editor, Files tab, I ran a list using the Unused Non-HTML Files filter (figuring the...
Hi Gay So in the TOC editor context .. "Unused" means "no consumed by the TOC". Images that's a tricky one. You may need to just search for each filename to...
Hi Rob, Thanks for the tip - I wasn't aware I could delete all image files from the HHP and the ones called by the project would be brought in to the CHM the...
Cool. And of course if you want to spend the time you could resave your JPGs with a higher compression. And even drop the number of colors in some GIF and...
I'm with you on image file size, Rob. It's one of my little soapbox issues. I always grab at 16M and then reduce to a maximum of 256, either .gif or .png....
What's the best way to deliver different help systems (in our case uncompressed help for Web apps) from a single set of topic HTML pages to different customers...
Hi Bill So you have 2 or more versions of your Uncompressed help system that you want to present to different groups of users (via different Navigation). Well...
Hi Rob and Bill, Intriguing thread. I don't want to answer for Bill, but I suspect the solution of generating and then laying down separate hh_*.htm navigation...
Hi Adam :-) Yes Important questions. And there is the issue of Search database. In the current implementation you provide a list of HTML topic files and crunch...
When compiling I receive the message "HHC4003: Warning: The following option line does not contain an '=' character separating the option and its value:...
... These 3 chars look like the BOM for UFT-8. Remember that HH is ANSI only. Open the HHP in NotePad and "Save As" to ANSI file encoding. Make sure all your...
I did what you suggested - Encoding WAS set for UTF-8. Once i set it for ANSI and compiled the warning went away - thanks so much - lesson learned :)...
This is a new one on me. * I opened a CHM that I compiled with FAR and noticed that my text popups display behind the main Help window. * I opened a different...
Hi Rob, As always, I'm loving working with FAR. Here's what's up. I'm using FAR 5.1.0.731 on Windows XP. On these two search pages, I'm noticing that a...
Hi Tia No I don't know. I'd say it's just a freaky Windows thing that will probably go away next reboot or when you next do a Windows update. Keep an eye on it...
Hi Adam Just check would you that the Tree and Search JS file in the Extras folder are the same files you have in your project. It does sounds like you went...
Hi Rob, Thanks for the reassurance. I'll keep an eye on it and see what develops. ("Freaky Windows thing?" Could there BE such a thing??) ~~Gay From:...
Hi Rob, I copied the three files that you attached into my extra folder (C:\Program Files\Helpware\FAR\extra). I then generated the search00.frame.html and...
Hi again, Rob, I compared the .HHP file for the .CHM with hidden popups to the .HHP file for another .CHM and the only difference I could see was that in the...
