Comparing files and RoboHelp quirk

[Mailing List <mlist -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

FYI

WinMerge, available for download from SourceForge.net is 
a very handy little file/directory comparison utility, 
for those times when somebody asks you to list all the 
changes you made in your WebHelp system between last 
release and this one (and you don't use a version-control 
system).

However, if you use RoboHelp and you feel the need to 
change the starting file for your WebHelp system, be 
sure that you really want to and that you won't be 
confronted with a demand like in my first paragraph, above.

RoboHelp inserts a reference to the start page into every 
topic/page. So, if you change that, it causes ALL the hundreds 
or thousands of your Help pages to show as new/changed.
