Compiling FM into help files (wfp file)

[Ben Allums]

Anton,

The version you mention, "quadralay-wdt-80", is definitely WebWorks 
Publisher 2003.  ePublisher Pro 9.2 will not be able to process that 
project file directly.  You can import it can convert from a Publisher 
project to an ePublisher project.  ePublisher 9.2 will attempt to 
migrate much of the style settings.

ePublisher itself is now up to version 2010.3 and still includes support 
for generating CHM output.
