multiple platform compatible??

[dave]

I am supporting a large c++ app and presently use robohelp to build winhelp
for it. This year the company decided we have to support Vista in addition
to w2k and xp, and i am looking to also include w7 while i'm at it. So what
is the best way to use a single source to provide help compatible with w2k,
xp, vista, w7?? I would like to keep the app ignorant of the platform if
possible.

Hi Dave
Options are
1. Stick with WinHelp... Users will be prompted to download WinHelp engine
if they have internet connection. Although haven't checked what Win7 does
yet.
2. Migrate help to HTML Help (.chm). CHMs work on all platforms. This is
what MS recommend at the moment.
That's about it really unless you go for some alternative like HTML or Adobe
Air based help.
I think #2 is your best option.
