As some people may have noticed in an earlier post I stated I will update the Stars! help file. Well, I have bgun. Currently I have successfully decompiled the existing help file and begun to update the information it contains. Pages in the helpfile with dead website locations have a new note added to them to inform people to check here at Autohost for information.

For any of you accessing the existing help file and getting a 'Runtime file not found' error, it is because you don't have the old hyprfind dll. You can still peruse the helpfile without it. When I post the updated help file I will include the hyprfind and hyprview dll's.

If you have anything on your wish list for additions to the help file, just post them here. I won't guarantee I will add them all and, most of what I add will be in the 'guts' section. I will be adding a section on the MT toys also.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.

Great stuff. Do you have the index of what is contained in the help file?

Windows 3.1 help files don't have an index. Most of the help file (all the text) is written in an RTF text file. When I de-compiled the help file I now have the complete RTF file. Once I complete the edit I will re-compile the help file back into the .hlp format with all the graphics (and any I add).

Looks like I need to find the stuff I did with this so I can post the updated version. Real life kind of overtook what I was doing wit Stars! (Divorce, re-marriage, new business - the usual types of thing)..

I need to take a look and find out what's happened with Freestars also.

Great!
I assume you are using the newest help:
http://starsautohost.org/files/e27ihelp.exe is an English updated 2.7i quick search help file.

Although it is 2.7 is works fine together with the autohost 2.6 jrc4 version.
