A few people have already downloaded the free S2N component and found
that they receive a zip package which contains (amongst other things) a Windows Help file (STRING2NUM.HLP).
This Help file contains a full description of the component, its
Properties, Methods, descriptions, sample code of how to include it in
web pages and COBOL desktop, etc. I spent a considerable amount of time writing it, seven years ago.
As people have gone to the trouble to download it, I decided I should
look at it and update it if it needs updating.
Can't do that. Microsoft dropped support for their Help files sometime
after XP and the file is inaccessible on the windows 8.1 platform I'm currently using. (You get redirected to a MS web page with a bunch of flannel about Help no longer being supported, some Viewers for Win 7,
and a bunch of alternative suggestions...none of which are actually practicable if you don't have the help file source (most users WON'T
have it...; for me it is on an XP machine which is archived to an attic
and which I really don't have time or inclination to break out right now.)
I left some suggestions of my own on the page under "Was this page helpful?"... :-)
Meanwhile, I would suggest that people who want to know the properties
and methods available from the .dll should use an Object Browser. (If
you have Visual Studio installed, there is one in the Visual VB tool...) There are also free ones available for download.
I'm really sorry about this, but if you download the component and are a
bit lost how to use it, mail me privately and I'll... help.
Pete.

WInHLP still works fine under Windows 10, x86 and x64, all it needs is amodified installer. Check out:
Win32HLP Support for Windows 10, etc http://moosesoftware.16mb.com/#Win32HLP_Support_for_Windows_10_etcchallenges / issues.
You can also recompile your HLP file to CHM format, which brings other

OS incompatibility in a mere seven years? Why, I've got modules running

Mr Scott, in all seriousness... when people say they dislike how things
are being done in my country I'll deadpan 'There might be something to that... where do you see this situation being handled better?'

Mr Scott, such unoriginal sentiments have been proven wrong almost as
often as they have been voiced. What's next... that stuff they're callin' 'music' is a buncha durned noise, too?
