The Easy Way to Create Microsoft HTML Help / .chm Files!

A free 15-day Trial of HelpBreeze for Microsoft HTML Help is available here.

HelpBreeze HTML Help Edition and HelpBreeze JavaHelp Edition are powerful, award-winning authoring tools / online help editors  which are specifically designed for the HTML-based online help standards:

• HTMLHelp (.chm files) is the next generation help system from Microsoft and is now the standard help system in Windows 98, Windows 2000/XP and Office 2000/XP.  HelpBreeze supports the latest release of Microsoft HTML Help.

• JavaHelp is Sun's new cross-platform online help system designed to be the standard vehicle delivering help for Java applications. HelpBreeze supports the new JavaHelp 2.0 release as well as JavaHelp 1.x.
  

• In addition to the HTMLHelp and JavaHelp formats, HelpBreeze also automatically generates professional quality printed documentation (see an example) and plain HTML (complete with table of contents and index) suitable for the web or your intranet.   HelpBreeze is a complete, single-source documentation solution.

Both tools are hosted by the same easy-to-use visual environment and are included together in the download package. Download your free trial copy now!
