What are the advantages of having this
reference in a CHM file?


It is only one file, not more than 620!
Reduced file size! On a 1.2 GB HD with
the FAT16 file system, this reference would use 20 MB of HD space, even though there is
only 1.6MB of files! Ona 2+ GB HD, it would take 40 MB! On a 4+ GB HD it would take an
amazing 80 MB for only 1.6 MB of files. There are some serious space savings to be made
there!
Easy to use menu.
This file is much less than the
distribution file from the Microsoft site, and is still in a useable format.
Files are compressed to 15% of their
original size, saving even more disk space.
You stilll get al lthe features of IE4,
such as ActiveX, VBScript, JavaScript plus more in CHM files.
CHM will be the new help format for
Windows 98.


And the disadvantages?


You need either Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4 on Windows 95, or Windows 98 to view it.
It is harder to extract sepcific
information, although easier to find it first.
Files are compressed so time is used to
uncompress them.
