Bitmaps by Reference in Windows Help

3.00 MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Help compiler included in the final Windows version 3.00 SDK (Software Development Kit) prerelease supports the “old style” bitmap import commands. Until you update to the Help compiler in the retail SDK release, you need to use a different syntax to import your bitmaps.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The following table shows both the old and new forms:

The bitmap filename and extension are part of these import commands. The filename of each imported bitmap must also be listed in the [BITMAPS] section in the .HPJ file that describes the Help file. If the bitmap is not stored in the same directory as the .HPJ file, a full path must be listed in this section. These two requirements do not change between the Help compiler versions. Once you do receive your SDK update, use the global search and replace facility in your text editor to change from the old bitmap import syntax to the new syntax.
