Need a favor, can someone compile Help Maker for me (source forge only has the pascal/delphi source code).
-
A zillion years ago I wrote some help files using Help Maker, and back then I did not have the foresight to keep the authoring program with the source files. So now I need a favor, can someone compile Help Maker for me (source forge only has the pascal/delphi source code, WTF?). The source is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/helpmaker/[^] First one to do so will get 5 votes for all of their articles from me :). BTW, I googled a bunch web sites of where I could supposedly download it. There seems to be this new trend to display a "DOWNLOAD" button in a bunch of advertisements. So before you download something, you first have to figure out which of the download buttons you should click. Very sneaky tactics, but guys, it's not working!

Oh nevermind, I'm using Help & Manual (very nice piece of help authoring software), and it seems it does a decent job of importing the compiled .chm file. So I no longer need this obsolete piece of software.

Yeah, I tried all the plausible looking options, but they all link to source code zip file on source forge.

Really? I downloaded and installed it from that link. Works fine.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
