DOCUMENT:Q67614 31-OCT-1999 [utilities] TITLE :PWB Hyperlink in PWB.HLP is Inconsistent in Version 1.1 PRODUCT :Microsoft Programming Utilities PROD/VER:MS-DOS:1.1; OS/2:1.1 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kb16bitonly ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS, version 1.1 - Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2, version 1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When selecting help on the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.1 from the Categories menu in QuickHelp version 1.7, the help screen for Microsoft Advisor Help System is presented instead. This behavior may be duplicated by following the procedure outlined below: 1. Start QuickHelp without an argument to get help on any topic. This will bring up the main help screen. 2. Select the Programmer's WorkBench choice under the Categories menu. Instead of bringing up the help screen for Programmer's WorkBench, you will see the screen for the Microsoft Advisor Help System. MORE INFORMATION ================ If the PWB.HLP help file is decoded using helpmake as follows helpmake /D /T /Opwb.doc pwb.hlp we can see that the reason for this is that the .context directive for Programmer's WorkBench appears in the wrong section in the decoded help file. The following line .context Programmer's Workbench appears above the section for "Microsoft Advisor Contents." To correct the problem, move the .context directive for Programmer's WorkBench to the proper section, which is the "Programmer's WorkBench Contents." The helpfile must then be recompressed, as follows: helpmake /E7 /T /Opwb.hlp pwb.doc The choice of /E7 is shown here for demonstration purposes only, and is strictly arbitrary in this case. If maximum compression is desired, the numerical argument to the /E switch may be left off, or /E15 may be specified. Maximum compression will restore the database as close to its original size and state as possible.
