---------------------------------
All files within the JavaHelp system are specified as URLs. The separator between elements (files) in a hierarchy should be "/". In some cases "\" works on the Win32 platforms; however when the files that contain these references are added to JAR files or moved to different platforms, these references no longer work.
Changes since the 1.1.3 release are described in the "Release Information" chapter of the JavaHelp System User's Guide. You can view the JavaHelp System User's Guide on by executing the UserGuide.jar file in the demos\bin folder.
To execute the jar file, open a command window and change your directory to

You install JavaHelp software by extracting the zip file. While most installations will not require any additional installation tasks, some installations might require that the environment variable JAVAHELP_HOME be defined so that jhindexer and jhsearch will work correctly. You will know that you need to set JAVAHELP_HOME if, after installation, you see an error from jhindexer or jhsearch indicating that the environment variable needs to be set.
