This archive contains all you will need to create .HLP files for the 4DOS
help system.  4MAKE.EXE is the tool which 'compiles' text files into .HLP
files; it's documented in 4MAKE.TXT.  4MAKE accepts up to two command-line
arguments:

   4MAKE [infile [outfile]]

Infile defaults to 4DOS.TXT, if not specified.  Outfile defaults to the
same base name as infile with a .HLP extension.  You'll need an ASCII text
editor which supports large files ( > 1MB ) and allows you to insert
control characters; Microsoft's EDIT.COM from Win9x is adequate.

The remaining three text files are help text which can be compiled as-is,
or modified.  4DOSHELP.TXT is JP Software's help text as I received it
from Rex in 1994 (he may have made a few minor changes since then.)
4DOSHLP1.TXT is my variant, with extensive changes.  REDUCED.TXT has had a
number of topics stripped out; it makes a smaller help file suitable for
boot floppies.

Consider all this released under the same license as the rest of the 4DOS
source material.  Have fun with it.
