making chm with FM 7.2 and WebWorks Standard

[Garrett Alley]

Yes, (As usual, Bill is spot on) I found myself in that situation a
couple of years ago. I convinced my new employers to buy Frame, and
ended up using WW2k3 Standard, HTML Help Workshop, and some perl scripts
I hacked together (for the index/etc.) to make the whole thing work. A
fairly ugly and inelegant solution, but it worked. 

We're having enough problems with WWeP here that I _almost_ look back
fondly on those days... :)

You can't make CHMs with WWP Standard, however you can take the HTML
output and use any Help authoring tool to compile the HTML from WWP
Standard into CHM. But, you will need to manually create a TOC and IX
for the CHM. If you're not creating Help often, this solution might
work (HTML Help Workshop is free from MS, and there are other free and
cheap (Shareware) HATs out there that you can use (if you don't mind
paying a minimal fee, you might want to use FAR from helpware.net).
Otherwise consider upgrading to WWeP Professional. But no, you can't
create CHMs directly with WWP Standard alone.
