FlyHelp (formerly Pocket CHM) is meant for programmers, developers, technical writers, editors, and anyone else who needs to come up with help documentation. This is a tool that can be used to create documentation in HTML Help (CHM) format for desktop applications and Web Help (Browser-based Help) for web applications.

FlyHelp is available as an installer and as a portable version. The system requirements for running FlyHelp are: Pentium II processor or higher, 64MB of Ram, 10MB of free disk space, any Windows edition from Windows 2000 onward, Internet Explorer 4.1 or higher. Please note that FlyHelp needs .NET Framework 4.0 to run. You must have .NET Framework 4.0 on your Windows PC for FlyHelp to run.

On FlyHelp’s interface there’s a Starter prompt that is divided into three sections:
Recent Projects – lists the projects you recently worked on.
Project – allows you to open an existing project and access a wizard that helps you create a new project.
Resources – links to instructions on how to create CHM, how to create Web Help, how to merge CHM files, how to convert CHM to Web Help, and how to order FlyHelp.

You see, FlyHelp is not freeware, it is shareware. By ordering, you get to use the application without any function limitations, you get free technical support, free minor upgrades, and significant discounts for major upgrades.

Here’s a quick look at the functionality you get by ordering FlyHelp: create documentation in HTML Help (CHM) format for desktop applications and Web Help (Browser-based Help) for web applications; open and edit CHM files directly; decompile CHM files, extract resource files from CHM files, convert CHM files to Web Help; automatically generate a table of contents (TOC); import Microsoft HTML Help projects (HHP files) and Microsoft Word files; manually or automatically create an index; incorporate Flash movies; built-in WYSIWYG HTML editor; built-in HTML source code editor; built-in CHM tools.

Let FlyHelp help you create help documentation for your desktop and web applications. Fly Sky Software developed a properly good tool that you can use to create help documentation.
