Summary:
When selecting help on the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.1
from the Categories menu in QuickHelp version 1.7, the help screen for
Microsoft Advisor Help System is presented instead. This behavior may
be duplicated by following the procedure outlined below:
1. Start QuickHelp without an argument to get help on any topic. This
will bring up the main help screen.
2. Select the Programmer's WorkBench choice under the Categories menu.
Instead of bringing up the help screen for Programmer's WorkBench, you
will see the screen for the Microsoft Advisor Help System.
More Information:
If the PWB.HLP help file is decoded using helpmake as follows
helpmake /D /T /Opwb.doc pwb.hlp
we can see that the reason for this is that the .context directive for
Programmer's WorkBench appears in the wrong section in the decoded
help file. The following line
.context Programmer's Workbench
appears above the section for "Microsoft Advisor Contents." To correct
the problem, move the .context directive for Programmer's WorkBench to
the proper section, which is the "Programmer's WorkBench Contents."
The helpfile must then be recompressed, as follows:
helpmake /E7 /T /Opwb.hlp pwb.doc
The choice of /E7 is shown here for demonstration purposes only, and
is strictly arbitrary in this case. If maximum compression is desired,
the numerical argument to the /E switch may be left off, or /E15 may
be specified. Maximum compression will restore the database as close
to its original size and state as possible.
