HelpScribble is a full-featured, easy-to-use help authoring tool for creating help files from start to finish. Create WinHelp (.hlp) files, HTML Help (.chm) files, a printed manual and online documentation (on a web site) all from the same HelpScribble project. Write full-featured help files with the built-in editors for SHG files (hotspot bitmaps), WinHelp macros, contents tree, browse sequences, etc. If you have previously used another help authoring tool, reuse your work by importing the HPJ+RTF files created with the other tool or by a decompiler. Use the help files you make with HelpScribble to provide context-sensitive help with your Window applications, no matter which development tool you use. If you use Borland Delphi or C++Builder, you will like the way HelpScribble's HelpContext property editor integrates with them to make assigning Topic ID values to HelpContext properties very easy. HelpScribble is a stand-alone tool. It does not depend on MS Word or any other third party package. It does need a help compiler that you can download for free from http://www.helpscribble.com/helpcompiler.html

HelpScribble is copyright (c) 1996-2012 Jan Goyvaerts. All rights reserved. 'HelpScribble' and 'Just Great Software' are trademarks of Jan Goyvaerts. IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY This license statement and limited warranty constitutes a legal agreement ('License Agreement') between you ('Licensee', either as an individual or a single entity) and Just Great Software Co. Ltd. ('Licensor'), sole worldwide publisher of the software product HelpScribble ('Software') of which Jan Goyvaerts is the copyright holder. BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. Upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, Jan Goyvaerts grants you the right to use the Software in the manner provided below. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, you are to promptly delete each and any copy of the Software from your computer(s). The Licensor reserves the right to license the same Software to other individuals or entities under a different license agreement. After accepting this license agreement, the Licensee is permitted to use the Software under the terms of this agreement for no more than thirty (30) days, and for evaluation purposes only, without payment to the Licensor. For this purpose, the Licensor provides a special free trial version of the Software that can be freely downloaded from the Licensor's web site. If the Licensee wishes to use the software for more than thirty (30) days and/or for purposes other than evaluating the Software, the Licensee must purchase a single user license or a multi-user license from the Licensor. This license bears the name of the licensed person or entity and is not transferable to any other party. Pricing and availability is subject to change without prior notice. The Licensee can consult the most recent pricing information at http://www.helpscribble.com/buynow.html If a single user license was bought, the Licensee has the option of installing the Software on a single machine possibly used by one or more persons, or installing the Software on several machines used exclusively by a single person. Any combination of both options, or installing the Software on a network server, is not permitted. If a multi-user license was bought, the Licensee may choose to install the Software on as many machines as licenses were bought, but no more, or the Licensee may choose to install the Software on one or more network servers on the condition that the number of client machines that have access to that server or those servers, is equal to or less than the number of licenses bought. When the number of client machines grows, the Licensee must buy additional licenses. Regardless of the number of licenses bought, the Licensee has right to place an additional copy of the Software and the license key on a removable medium for backup purposes to protect the investment made. Technical support is available directly from the Licensor at no additional charge. When encountering problems, the Licensee must first visit the Licensor's web site at http://www.helpscribble.com/ and read the information presented there to make sure the question or problem is not already answered there. If not, the licensee may write to [email protected] with his question in either the English or Dutch language. The Software is provided 'as is'. In no event shall the Licensor or any of the Licensor's affiliates be liable for any consequential, special, incidental, or indirect damages of any kind arising out of the delivery, performance or use of this Software, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. While the Software has been developed with great care, it is not possible to warrant that the Software is error free. The Software is not designed or intended to be used in any activity that may cause personal injury, death, or any other severe damage or loss. Neither shall the Licensee be liable for any consequential, special, incidental, or indirect damages of any kind arising out of the use of this Software under the terms of this License Agreement. When errors are found in the Software, the Licensor will release a new version of the Software that no longer contains those errors a reasonable amount of time after the Licensor is given an accurate description of those errors. The amount of time considered reasonable will depend on the complexity and severity of the errors. The Licensor will mention the release at http://www.helpscribble.com and, at the Licensor's option, directly contact the Licensee to announce the new release. The Licensee can then, at their option, upgrade to the latest version or to continue to use the older version the Licensee already has. In either case, no payment to the Licensor is required. In the latter case, the Licensee will no longer be entitled to technical support until the Licensee has upgraded to the latest version. The Licensor reserves the right to charge an upgrade fee in the case of major new enhancements or additions to the Software. This major new version will then start a new version line which will use version numbers clearly distinguishable from the old version line. The Licensee has no obligation to upgrade to the new version line and the Licensor will continue to make available the latest version of the previous version line and release new versions in the old version line in the case errors are still found, and provide technical support for it. The Licensor reserves the right to revoke the Licensee's license without prior notice if the Licensee violates any of the terms of this license agreement. You must not attempt to reverse compile, modify, translate or disassemble the Software in whole or in part. You must not run the Software under a debugger or similar tool allowing you to inspect the inner workings of the Software. The Software remains the exclusive property of the Licensor. Any Licensee which fully complies with the terms in this license agreement may use it according to the terms of this license agreement. You must not give copies of the Software or your license key to other persons or entities. You must not transfer the Software or your license key to another person or entity. You must also take reasonable steps to prevent any third party from copying the software from one of your machines without your permission. You may distribute the evaluation version of the Software that is available for public download at http://www.helpscribble.com at the moment that you do distribute it, on the condition that you do this by making identical copies of the downloaded file(s). Public download means any file that can be downloaded by browsing to http://www.helpscribble.com and navigating through the links visible on the page, without the use of any password or identification that you may type in or that may be automatically supplied by your browser if you have typed it in before. You must not ask payment for the act of distributing the evaluation version of the Software or for the evaluation version itself. You may ask a reasonable contribution to cover your expenses in material, shipping and communication costs. You must make it clear to the recipient that you are sending an evaluation version and that the recipient will have to accept a license agreement in order to evaluate it, and make payment in order to fully use the Software. You must not distribute the evaluation version by making it part of a larger package, unless that package is a collection of evaluation software and other software that does not require payment.
