Readme Files and Fphelp Builder For Sharepoint Designer Software for Windows

fpHelp Builder for SharePoint Designer
$11.95 - OLSOFT

Authors can use fpHelp BuilderSP to create online help for a software application or content for a multimedia title or web site. As an information delivery system, HTML Help is suited for a wide range of applications, including training guides, interactive books and electronic newsletters, as well as help for software applications.

Help-authoring tools from Microsoft do not provide easy and comfortable interface for creating and editing HTML files or, managing content navigation structure. Fortunately, there are more suitable and powerful utilities such as Microsoft® SharePoint Designer and fpHelp BuilderSP. These programs not only allow you to design HTML pages and navigation structures of web sites, but also apply themes, manage links, receive reports, etc. In addition, the main advantage of this solution is that the user does not need to learn new software but can use the already familiar one.

fpHelp BuilderSP is a very simple and powerful Microsoft SharePoint Designer add-in that allows the conversion of a web site to a Microsoft HTML Help file (CHM file). The ability to work with SharePoint Designer is enough to construct the Help file from any web site.

Once your web site is complete, you can compile it to create the final compressed help file (CHM file). As a help author, you manage the locations of your topic, contents, index, and other files. You can also modify the web site to match the design of your help system or can make other changes depending on the size and complexity of your system.

Instead of creating the traditional Help files you can convert any web site into a single compressed help (.chm) file which is the help standard for Microsoft Windows. After that you can distribute your sites as single units which could be manuals, Helps, guides, readme files, e-books, etc..

The main advantage of the fpHelp BuilderSP is its simplicity and usability: in a few mouse clicks you will receive the CHM file from your SharePoint web site.

Music Education
$10 - J.P. Shankle

PLEASE READ THE "README FILES". The system is menu driven which makes it extremely easy to go from scales to chords, theory, dictation, solfeggio in any order. Scales are scales and they must be put to memory.Chords are the same. Theory must also be put to memory. Dictation and solfeggio range from simple to difficult. A piano keyboard is used to help visually picture the scales, chords, dictation and solfeggio. All the major scales are covered. All the minor scales (melodic/harmonic) are covered. The tonic, sub-dominent and dominent chords are covered with their 1st and 2nd inversions in both major and minor. I have also included some definitions. I know its not comprehensive enough but it's a start. Your computer MUST have speakers to use this system. The THEORY covers how scales are composed, time values, how chords are formed, key signatures, how to take dictation and notes on solfege. There is a facility to print the scales (major/minor). There are about 250 programs in this system and they were tested on Windows XP and 98 2nd ed. They were also tested on a 17" and 19" monitor. They are NOT intended for non Windows machines.

FourTidy
$0 - Canadian Mind Products

To tidy and sort a JP Software 4NT/4DOS hidden descript.ion file.
These files are used by the 4NT DESCRIBE utility to track what
your various files or for. See
for more information on the 4NT command processor.

First make the directory containing the usually-hidden descript.ion file
current. e.g.

C:
cd env

Then invoke the java program with:

java.exe -jar C:commindprodfourtidyfourtidy.jar

If you have Excelsior Jet,
() you can compile the
jar and simplify that long-winded command to:

fourtidy.exe

To save typing, create a *.BAT file on the path containing the command.
You might also want to hide/reveal the descript.ion file with:
attrib +h descript.ion
attrib -h descript.ion

Fourtidy will sort, tidy, and prune duplicates in the
descript.ion file. It will also create a non-hidden file
called readme.txt with the information about all your files
in the directory in aligned human readable form.

Be careful, fourtidy will replace any existing readme.txt file you
may have in the directory!!
