Take a look into your purebasic installation:
[PureBasic]\Library SDK\DocMaker\DocMaker.exe

There you'll find everything you need...

DocMaker alleine tut es nicht!

DocMaker erstellt aus einem Satz von Text-, Html- und Bild-Dateien einen neuen Satz von Html- und Bild-Dateien und den zugehörigen Projekt-Dateien für ein HtmlHelp-Projekt.

Damit aus diesem neuen Satz von Dateien nun eine CHM-Datei wird, benötigt man noch unbedingt den HtmlWorkshop von Microsoft!

helpy says: docmaker only creates a project file for m$ hc. You also have to
download and install m$ HtmlWorkshop to compile it ....

Sorry, but the absolute best is http://helpware.net/FAR :idea:

I use it with a free utility (http://www.keyworks.net/keytools.htm) that can decompile any CHM file I choose. I make changes and recompile with FAR. Very fast to make changes.

Please Read This Carefully:
The copy of FAR you downloaded (page top) is a full working version. You get a total of 8 weeks to evaluate FAR. After that unregistered copies of FAR will show a nag screen with a time delay. Please use this time to properly evaluate FAR before paying for a registration Key. If you need more evaluation time then roll back the time on your PC's clock.

There are no refunds. It is simply not cost effective to refund this small amount of money.

Mines 100% Free.. and things from SourceForge.Net always kickas$ ;)

Plus it will never be forsale..

History
HelpMaker was developed in 1998. During that time, it was developed as a shareware product, with some success.

HelpMaker had moderate success. HelpMaker has gone through several versions, from a humble version 1 to version 7.

HelpMaker has grown from a pet project to a huge program, along with screen capture, manual designer and PDF.

End-of-Life
However, HelpMaker suffered a few set-backs and delays. After much deliberation, it was decided either to (1) abandon HelpMaker or (2) retire the program from shareware and make it freeware.

It's a great program and it's sad to see the development stop.

On June 2002, the program reached end-of-life. Rather than abandon the project, we decided to make the program freeware and put it on permanent maintenance.

We hope you enjoy using this program and continue to provide feedback.

Thank you for your support,
HelpMaker Development Team.
