Subject: RE: Ant User Manual in Compiled HTML Help format

Fred, here's a .zip file with all the stuff.  You should 
be able to just doubleclick on docs/antman.chm to launch 
the compiled help file (if you are running Windows and 
IE 4.0 or later).

The perl script is aum2chm.pl (included in the .zip 
file) if you want to create the file yourself.  You need  
the Microsoft Help Workshop.

usage: aum2chm -help

or 

aum2chm [-d docs] [-compiler path/path/hhc.exe]

Run this from your /ant/docs directory, using -d to 
point to the output directory, which must exist before 
you run the script.

I just wrote this this morning, but it seems to work 
fine.  Please let me know of any problems or critiques.

Thanks,
Phil Hanna
