These files are included to ease the testing of the INT2WHLP program.
It is suggested that the files are copied to a directory used only for
this test, prefferably a subdirectory under the directory with the INT2WHLP
files. The included INT2WHLP.CFG configuration file defines the current
directory for both input and output. Thus, the compilation of the files is
as easy as
<path\>INT2WHLP [options]
HC31 INTWIN
where <path\> is the path to the INT2WHLP program, and [options] are
options that can optionally be passed to INT2WHLP. The commands suggest
that HC31.EXE is somewhere on the DOS path.
Well, it's actually easier than that, because the batch file BUILD.BAT
can pass up to 10 options to INT2WHLP, and then automatically start HC31.
BUILD.BAT assumes that the test files are in a subdirectory under INT2WHLP's
directory, so it uses "..\" for "<path\>". This can be changed by editing
line 3 of BUILD.BAT. Then for example
BUILD -1+ -t-
will build a help file with single-entry interrupts listed in the main
index, and with tables appearing in the main help window rather than in a
secondary window, and
BUILD -r40
will build a help file where the tables are not separate topics (Interrupt
List release 40 style).
To ease the tests even further, the test package includes a Program
Information File BUILD.PIF, which can request parameters and start
BUILD.BAT from within Windows. Make an icon that starts BUILD.PIF with working
directory = test directory, and another icon that runs <testdir>\INTWIN.HLP.
This makes it very easy to compile with different options and start WINHELP
to show the results. Exit WINHELP before a new compilation to avoid sharing
conflicts.
The files in this package are truncated files from the Interrupt List and
tiny test files, and therefore INT2WHLP compiles them in a about one
second, and the HC31 compilation takes only some seconds. This gives the
user an easy way to experiment with fonts, font sizes, background colors,
etc - use the NOTEPAD editor to edit the [CONFIG] section of INT2WHLP.CFG.
For experiments with multi columns index, rename the file INTERRUP.LST
to INTERRUP.A. This causes the file INTERRUP.B to be appended to the
compilation, with rows and columns of index entries in a 4, 8, or 16 column
index. The compilation time will be 3-4 times longer.
The package demonstrates also the flexibility of the file inclusion
facilities in the INT2WHLP program. The TEST-?.TXT files were created in a
text editor and the TEST-?.RTF files were created in WINWORD and exported
as RTF files. The index to the system included as "WINDOW 4" is in file
TEST-1.RTF.
Finally, the package can be used for experimenting with the SEL_TOPIC.RTF
file, se the paragraph 'TO TEST THE "SEL_TOPC" WINDOW' in the INT2WHLP.CFG
file included in this package.
If INTERRUP.LST was renamed to INTERRUP.A, it would be a good idea to
rename it back again after the experiments.
