Subject:Rumors of LIST decline // OL Help books From:"Dimock, Dick" <red -at- ELSEGUNDOCA -dot- ATTGIS -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 1 Mar 1996 12:31:00 PST
Rumors about the LIST's decline are premature.
It seems rather skimpy nowadays, tho. Y'all got
imminent deadlines?
Since mine is a couple of weeks away, I shall leap upon
the empty bandwidth with my own request for info.
Are there any good, recent 3rd-party books for On Line Help?
Especially Word6/7 compatible applications? By 3rd party
I mean "for sale in computer bookstores".
I can't yet afford my own Doc To Help, HDK, etc. Nor do I
have $/time for a seminar. Yet Ol' Artfully gotta get into this
Real Soon Now.
An upcoming use is on a DOS platform and coming from
Word7 text. (Do I have any hope for DOS Help?)
Regards to all!
