Run INT2HM.COM to convert the list into an HELPMAKE input file Run HM2HLP.BAT to convert INT2HM output file into QUICKHELP database Run MAKEHELP.BAT to convert the list into a QUICKHELP database HM2HLP.BAT and MAKEHELP.BAT take as command argument the compression factor to use for HELPMAKE. Compression goes from 0 (NO COMPR.) to 15 (MAX COMPR.), if no argument is inserted, NORMAL COMPRESSION will be used (3). -------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUIREMENTS ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Be sure that you have more than 20Mb free hard disk space before running MAKEHELP, after MAKEHELP finished without errors you can delete all files but INTERRUP.HLP (the QUICKHELP database). If you haven't enough free space, run first INT2HM.COM, delete all files but *.HM, then run HM2HLP.BAT . INT2HM requires these files in the current work directory for the conversion: þPORTS.LST þMEMORY.LST þCMOS.LST þCATEGORY.KEY þINTERRUP.LST (run COMBINE.BAT to build it, then delete the INTERRUP.? files if you need free space) to run MAKEHELP include also: þINT2HM.COM (the HELPMAKE conversion program) þHELPMAKE.EXE (the .HLP builder) Hard disk cachers strongly recommended! -------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO ^^^^ INTERRUP.HLP includes a file selection menu (for CMOS, PORTS, MEMORY and INTERRUPTS) and full topic indexing on PORTS.LST and INTERRUP.LST with a one level index for PORTS and a two level index for INTERRUPTS, one for INT numbers and one for all entries for a specified INT number. INTERRUPT entries are all classified with the searching category flag reported in CATEGORY.KEY and the type description included direcly in the list (undocumented, internal, ....) so that class searching is also possible with QUICKHELP searching functions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT ^^^^^^^ For information or problems e-mail to: caimi@zeus.csr.unibo.it (Giorgio Caimi)
