EC Software Help Suite 1.80 is designed as a Delphi and CBuilder component suite implementing context sensitive help. The EC Software Help Suite was developed to complement the help functions of Borland Delphi and fill the gap between flagship product Help & Manual and your application.

4 powerful components manage context sensitive help, the instant implementation of HTML HELP and training card help:

• TWhatsThis: Automates right-click context sensitive "Whats this?"-help and implements a fully automated context sensitive help mode similar to MS Word.
• THelpRouter: Builds a bridge to HTML HELP without extra coding. It manages the translation of help calls and context sensitive help and handles HLP as well as HTML HELP files dynamically.
• THelpContextMap: Stores help context numbers and their associated topic IDs in a compressed form with ultra-fast searching.
• TTrainingCard: Simplifies the implementation of Winhelp training cards. If you are not familar with training card help, take a look at our screen capture tool TNT which makes extensive use of this component.

Requirements: Delphi: D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D2005, D2006 and D2007

A set of utilities for managing the WinHelp and HTML Help systems on your computer, and for optimizing those help systems KeyTools is a smart and reliable set of utilities for managing the WinHelp and HTML Help systems on your computer, and for optimizing those help systems for better performance.
The primary focus of the KeyTools utilities is HTML Help, the Microsoft development environment for developing HTML-based help and multimedia titles.
Since many people who develop HTML Help systems also develop WinHelp systems, KeyTools also includes a few tools for WinHelp development. However, the focus of future development of KeyTools will be on HTML Help and HTML-based help utilities.
Main features:
- Decompile - Extracts the source files from a compiled HTML Help (.chm) or compiled Internet Explorer (.its) file. Also recreates the project file (.hhp file).
- Recompile - Recompiles one or more .chm or .its files to further reduce its size.
- HTML Help Registry - Lists all .chm files that have been registered on your computer system. You can add to or remove from the list, or modify the name or location of an entry.
- WinHelp Registry - Lists all .hlp, .cnt, and other WinHelp files that have been registered on your computer system, with tools for adding, removing, or modifying entries in the list.
- Find HTML Help Components - Locates all HTML Help development files on your computer system so that you can check versions and, if necessary, remove duplicates.
- Find WinHelp Components - Locates all WinHelp development files on your computer so that you can manage duplicates and resolve conflicts.
- Find HTML Help Files - Locates all HTML Help files (.chm, .chi, .chw, .chq, and so forth) on your computer system, so that you can review or delete them.
- Find WinHelp Files - Locates all WinHelp files (.hlp, .cnt, .gid, .fts, .ftg) on your computer system, so that you can review or delete them.
- Examine CHM File - Opens a special viewer, from which you can examine the contents of a .chm or .its file. You can also start this tool by right-clicking a .chm or .its file and choosing Examine
System requirements:
- Because the primary focus of KeyTools is for HTML Help systems, KeyTools requires you to have Internet Explorer 4 or later installed on your machine.

- Hot Point ? a small red rectangle on each file shows you the file properties, and quick view (images and text).
- File Finder ? is a new thread, which means you can still work with the manager. You can search files (by name, date, size) and text in files. Regular Expression supported. You can also search in archives, as well as in nested archives (archive inside another archive).
- Supported Regular Expression while searching files, text in files, and in a text quick view. So you can search in files e.g. r[eo]d which matches red and rod. Or [0-9]*[0-9] ? matches any text beginning and ending with one digit. Also operators ?OR? and ?AND? supported. So you can search ?music? OR ?multimedia? OR ?movie? ? then all the files having ANY of these words will be listed.
- Ability to follow the links while searching files. If you want, ACB will follow the links to the directories if any. This can be used to create a set of directories of some type (which can be anywhere) to be searched.
- Quick Access Bar ? Two lists ? important files ? then the newest files are shown (usually this is what You are looking for when entering a new directory), and : index.html, readme.* etc? In the second list ? you can type letters, and files HAVING specified text are shown (when you type ?help? all the files having this word will be show: Help.txt, helpme.doc, winhelp etc. Useful when you know that a file has some word but you don?t remember the whole name, and even the first letters. Also useful when filtering files ? when you?ll type .bmp all the bitmaps will be shown).
- Browsing while Dragging & Dropping ? when you are in a c: directory for example, and you want to move some files to a c:windowssystem ? usually you used to open two windows, or you have used Ctrl+C ? clipboard operations. In the Ac Browser Plus you start dragging filesdirectories, move them over the c:windows and? hit space. Ac Browser Plus will enter into that directory (c:windows), then you can drop the files on a ?system? directory. You can move in this way across all the directory tree? ( By the way ? pressing CTRL with ?space? will open a new window).
- Image specials ? to Ac Browser Plus you can drop files from some other application (like Explorer), but not only files. Also images ? run some image editor, select some part of an image and move it (drop it) to the Ac Browser Plus window, you will be able to save it in a directory you dropped it. If you work with graphics in any way, this will be useful for you. Also you can Paste an image (CTRL + V). The same with text.
- Running programs in new threads. Applications executed from within Ac Browser Plus are started in a new thread. If starting this application takes a lot of time, it doesn?t lock the Ac Browser Plus, you can still work, and the starting procedure is in another thread. Also, if the executed application breaks andor doesn?t respond, the Ac Browser Plus is still alive.
- Threads, threads ? most of the operations ? copying, moving filedirectory ,deleting, searching, even calculating space occupied by a directory ? all of these are new threads, which means you can continue your work.
- In one window : calculate space occupied in all directories in c: drive, in other window calculate some other directories, simultaneously open a new browsing window (CTRL + N) and search for some files (you can open many file searchers), and then play a movie and a few mp3 files simultaneously using quick view. List of files ? you can create and save a document ? Ac Browser Plus list of files. E.g. you can create a list of all images on your hard disk and then you can use it as it was a directory. On the files in this document you can operate as on normal files.
