TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Several WinHelp authoring tools now offer "Borwsers." Doc-to-Help has what they
call The Navigator. It is like a full TOC to the system that
sits in a separate window and can be expanded and collapsed to show any amount
of detail. When Navigator is attached to a Help system, a
BUTTON is added to the button bar that the user can use to open the Navigator.
Once opened, they can jump to any place in Help by clikcing
the topic name in Navigator. They can also print multiple topics. HDK is another
tool that offers this, and the Multimedia WinHelp utilities
coming out from Blue Sky later this fall will have it. And Windows 95 Help will
allow you to see available topics in all of the Help files on
your computer, if you want to, or to select a list of all the topics in a single
Help file.
