Directly from Ted Roche's notes from the FoxTeach CD:

"The decision as to when to make the switch from legacy WinHelp to HTML Help format depends on your particular circumstances and needs. HTML Help is still in its infancy and newer revisions can be expected shortly. Like all revisions, there will probably be compromises of backward compatibility in order to support new features. Distribution of HTML Help is still somewhat problematic, as IE 4.0 needs to be installed on each client workstation (although not necessarily set as the default browser) in order to display HTML Help."


>4 dll's that could only be _legally_ distributed with a full install of IE That's the problem though isn't it. I was at FoxTeach but didn't attend that session. I'm going to look through his session notes on the CD and see if there is any reference to this.

>My thought is, based on a reply from Craig to my post, that there should be royalty free distribution of IE DLL's required for HTML Help. They give away IE anyway so I don't see the problem with this.

>>Yes and no.

>>Ted Roche did a panel on HTML Help at FoxTeach '99 in Toronto. If I remember correctly, he said that what the client actually needed 4 dll's that could only be _legally_ distributed with a full install of IE.
