Description by publisher
VHED or Vinod's Help Engine for DOS platform is a simple help engine thatlet's you integrate a help system into your programmes written using PB-DOS.
The PBU file shipped is made using PB-DOS version 3.5. Alternatively, the
PBU file may be used in a small programme that can open any VHED help file
from DOS prompt. Such a programme will give you a good tool to distribute
information in an orderly manner over DOS platforms.
VHED was made when I wanted a help system in my own programmes but could
find no such (public domain or shareware) programme available on net.
I hope that DOS based Power BASIC programmers will find the utility useful.
To learn more about VHED do the following:
1) Copy and unzip VHED.ZIP file into a directory. It contains following
files:
a) VHED.PBU ----- The help engine unit file.
b) VHED.HLT ----- A sample VHED help file.
c) VHEDEXMP.BAS ----- A sample PB-DOS programme to display VHED.HLT.
d) README.TXT ----- An overview in text format.
2) Start PB-DOS (version 3.5), staying in the same directory.
3) Load file VHEDEXMP.BAS into PB-DOS editor.
4) Press F9 to run.
5) Browse the help file (you shall be able include similar files into
you programmes).
