The HelpLess Help System April 1, 2003

First there was QuickHelp. Then there was WinHelp ... and then HTML Help, and WebHelp, and InterHelp, and JavaHelp, and AppleHelp, and Man Pages, and PDF's, and hard copy manuals, and customer service calls, and LongHorn Help ...

Introducing the Help system to defenestrate them all. Why? Because we like the word "defenestrate".

No more reams of paper describing reaming API calls. There's only one API call to use, and it's a darned good one:

ShowHelpLess (WhyShouldI)

Finally, honest help. The way Help authors want to write. The way programmers wanna be Help authors. The way programming book authors want to author programming books. The way HAT developers want to wear their hats and eat them, too. Cake? No way.

This new Help system will be the butter for your bread, the apple for your eye, the couch for your potato. In fact, it can be your own private Idaho regardless of the state you may be in.

Features:

• You can open it.
• You can read it.
• You can close it.

It's that clean.

How much does it cost? Lemme tell you, we can't even tell you what it won't cost. That's how unique this thing is. It's beyond cost, and the cost is beyond it. Cost is relative, and this one won't even cost as much as a costly relative. And we all know how costly relatives can be, especially the smarmy, greasy, unkempt ones you pick up out of the bus station after they've absorbed two days worth of diesel fumes and then transfer that odiferous odor into your living room sofa. Do yourself a favor ... don't try to burn the sofa after that. It'll look like Danté's Inferno.

Viewer? We got yer viewer right here. You won't need any others. In fact, you may not even need that one.

To download this new Help system, send us the first credit card in your wallet. We'll call with instructions once we get to Rio de Janeiro.

Being HelpLess. It's for all of us.
