Strikes me as a little mutual-admiration society. Was this a contest of HyperHelp users? All the release should have said was "NewEra has a Windows-like help system for the Motif version, and if you buy "HyperHelp" your development programs can have Windows-like help too" IMHO the NewEra help could do with some considerable work, especially in the area of *examples* and *explanations*. Has NewEra 2.0 shipped yet? Anybody got a copy? Thoughts? Improvements over 1.1? Just wondering when my copy might land here.
