My original docs included creating a new table of contents and doing the manipulation inside of HTML Help so automating it was not possible, but I changed it to use manual editing of the files. They are all in an easy to use format so more of it could be scripted. The HTML Help project file and table of contents would only change if new man pages or README files need to be added so it's not a big deal. > How long does it take to build the .ZIP that the installer requires ?

I can't imagine that part being any more than 20 minutes either, once the scripts and 'project files' etc are created. Andy? Alex |
