Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program storage device convert text-based UNIX man pages to formatted Windows help topic files of the type including non-textual formatting information. Porting of applications to other operating systems is facilitated due to the decreased effort required to port the applications' associated on-line help documents. Moreover, the resulting help topic files may then be used to compile on-line help for multiple platforms which utilize such help topic files, e.g., Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, and even GUI UNIX variations such as X-Windows and Motif.
