Re: How to build new html help on mac?

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

The example of wgnuplot.chm can be obtained in the gnuplot cvs version packages for windows.

Perhaps you know that the html help workshop working on windows is required to generate chm format
help file.
You can use it if you install windows in your Apple PC. 
(Windows can be installed in the Apple PC.)

Another possible way, you will try to use wine for Mac OS.

I do not know the html help workshop can be executed in the wine on MacOS.
