For a recent project I used the very simple Help Creator from Breit Technologies. Available at:

Nice one.



There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.

I use and would recommend JGSoft's HelpScribble.

http://www.helpscribble.com/

Apparently it was written in Delphi and integrates well with the Delphi IDE. To quote from the above site:-

HelpScribble is a full-featured, easy-to-use help authoring tool for creating help files from start to finish. You can create WinHelp (.hlp) files, HTML Help (.chm) files, a printed manual and online documentation (on a web site) all from the same HelpScribble project.

In the past I've used RoboHelp which was pretty good. I downloaded M$ HTML Help Workshop and didn't find it as quick and simple to learn as Help Creator. My needs were such that I needed to swiftly create a simple yet comprehensive help file (including standard links, popup links and a few pics) for FREE! I found Help Creator was able to exactly meet my needs and was extremely quick to learn how to use. It may not be the most powerful (nor best) tool out there but it's free and simple.

I recently changed from Help workshop to Help&Manual (Free with my Monthly Mag) made life much easier.

Another way to do the help file is making a simple animation like in Macromedia Flash, Director, ...

I quite like the look of Doc-O-Matic - it's what JEDI uses:

I'm using DevComponents HelpKit. It's okay - nothing really special.
