All the templates, javascrips and java programs are open
|
|
so I suspect that some kind of porting would be possible.
|
|
Looking at Mozilla I find they too have NetHelp support
|
|
so the (semi-?) proprietariness doesn't worry me that much.
|
|
|
|
Looking at the Netscape NetHelp web pages I see they
|
|
have a buzz page for hot news. It has been dead since 1997
|
|
which worries me more. I'll try to contact them to see if
|
|
they have better tools, as they have promised, and perhaps
|
|
in return showcase a NetHelp styled HOWTO.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This might be a good time to inform you all that I
|
|
put up a few screen shots on my home page:
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/home.html">http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/home.html</A>
|
|
specifically
|
|
contents mode: <A HREF="http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/nethelp.png">http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/nethelp.png</A>
|
|
index mode: <A HREF="http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/nethelpi.png">http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/nethelpi.png</A>
|
|
|
|
So even if you cannot install it yourself you should get
|
|
a good idea how this works.
