Notes WinHelp-version:
----------------------
Since the WinHelp version is converted from HTML the result may not
always be the best.
Notes HTML version:
-------------------
It contains long filenames. Will not work fully with filesystems that
the uses 8.3 convention (MS-DOS).
Notes Amiga HTML version:
-------------------------
It has been tested with AWeb II and IBrowse v1.02 and worked fully.
Since the HTML code doesn't contain any "advanced" HTML-tags it should
work with most browsers. Sorry, but some filenames are longer than
30 characters (which is a limit in AmigaOS). Will be fixed ASAP.
Notes PDF (Adobe Acrobat) version:
----------------------------------
Consider this as Beta for the moment. Please report visual errors.
I will also release a version for the papersize Letter later.
The PDF version is very nice to use if you'd like to print from HwB.
It will produce great hardcopies.
