It is a bit difficult to evaluate this system as the HTML Help Workshop seems to crash at any opportunity.
The actual index (.hhk) and contents (.hhc) files are stored as HTML, with extra tags which the HTML Help ActiveX control picks up. However, the index and contents files can be viewed by Netscape Navigator.
So the HTML Help ActiveX control either displays an index form or a contents tree. When put in an appropriate frameset, ordinary Contents and Index buttons may be used to select an index page or a contents page into a frame.
HelpIndex v2 will have Contents and Index tabs within the one Java applet.
The contents and index files will be significantly bigger than the HelpIndex index files.
There appears to be no equivalent of MakeHelpIndex.
However, HelpIndex could be amended to read any .hhk and .hhc files.
