===========================================
     EasyHelp/Web (TM) version 2.82 
  Hypertext Authoring System for Word 6/7
    Copyright (c)1996 Eon Solutions Ltd
===========================================

Run EZY282.EXE from Windows to install.

1. Description of the software:
-------------------------------
EasyHelp/Web v2.82 is a very easy to use hypertext authoring
tool for use with Microsoft Word 6 or Word 7.  It supports all
language versions of Word and was specially designed for non
technical users.
 
The same document(s) can be used for printing AND for creating
Windows Help files or World Wide Web (HTML) pages.

EasyHelp/Web is fully functional shareware.  Until you register
the software, your generated hypertext files will contain a
reference to the fact that they were authored with
EasyHelp/Web.

International versions of Word are supported (see the section
on registration below for contact addresses).

This version replaces all earlier versions.


2. What is installed with EZY282.EXE?
-------------------------------------
EZY282.EXE is a self-installing program which will set
EasyHelp/Web on any Windows PC (Win 3.1x, 95 or NT)

Most of the files are installed in the application directory
(C:\EASYHELP by default) and a further two files are installed

easyhelp.ini - in your Windows System directory
easyhelp.dot - in your Word template directory

The installation includes an 'uninstall' option which you can
use to remove the complete EasyHelp/Web system.


3. How EasyHelp/Web works
-------------------------
Run EZY282.EXE from the Windows Program manager or Start
button.  The installation program detects the operating system
and through a few simple questions, asks how you want to
install the system.  Your existing EASYHELP.INI file will NOT
be overwritten.

EasyHelp/Web is a Word template which can either be attached to
an existing document, or can be selected when you issue the
command 'File/New' - you select 'EasyHelp' from the list of
templates in your WinWord template directory.

It gives you an additional set of editing tools which allow you
to define a hypertext structure of topics and links within
your Word document and then to compile it into independent
hypertext files.

From the same source document, you can create either Windows
Help files or HTML web pages, suitable for uploading onto the
World Wide Web

A series of easy steps to create a help/web file:
  1. Create Topics
  2. Create Links
  3. Process
  4. Build  (only applies to help files)

A set of example documents is installed with the EasyHelp/Web
software which take you through the main concepts of hypertext
authoring.

Important provisos:

(i)  Producing Windows Help Files....
You must supply the Help Compiler (HCP.EXE v 3.10.505 (or
greater)if you wish to produce help files for Windows 3.1x
(HCW.EXE for Win 95 help files, although HCP.EXE will work
acceptably with Win 95).  We are currently negotiating, with
Microsoft to ship the help compiler with the EasyHelp/Web
installation program.  You will then acquire a registered copy
of the compiler on registration of EasyHelp/Web.
     
(ii) Producing Web (HTML) Pages....
You must supply your own Web viewer for HTML files.  The most
popular web viewers are Netscape and Internet Explorer,
although there are many others available.
