The PandaWare Company has updated Simple Help Editor, its
cross-platform help authoring application, to version 4.0.1. Mac and
Windows users can use Simple Help Editor to create software help
systems that display in Apple Help Viewer, Windows’ HTML Help viewer,
a Web browser, or in a proprietary help window (for applications
created with Real Software’s REALbasic).
The new version offers new options to add page navigation links
either automatically or manually, more support for reusing content
for different products or versions of a product, and improvements to
its Library for better management of reusable snippets.
Simple Help Editor allows creating platform-specific Help systems for
display in Apple Help Viewer, Microsoft Windows’ HTML Help viewer,
and Web browsers. It is available as a Mac OS X Universal Binary
application (for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher) and a Windows 2000 or
higher application. Both can be downloaded from The PandaWare
Company’s web site
(http://www.pandaware.com/download.html#simplehelp).
Unregistered copies work in demo mode for up to 30 days. The cost is
US$50 for a single-platform license and $85 for a cross-platform
license. Version 4.0.1 is a free update for registered users of
version 4.0.
