Exhibit Hall F, Booth #M6425 - The bundle of RoboHELP 3.0 and WinHelp
Video Kit is now shipping. RoboHELP 3.0 turns the U.S. and all major

narration (using a sound card) and integrate the resulting video files
(.AVI) into any Help file.

New & Improved in RoboHELP

256 color bitmap and textured background support - Help authors can now
easily add rich 256 color bitmaps, watermarks and textured backgrounds to
their Windows Help files.

New Word-To-Help Technology - Several Word 6.0 features not supported by
the Windows Help compilers are distorted when displayed in a Help system.
Blue Sky's new Word-To-Help RTF Postprocessor Technology overcomes this
limitation of the Help compilers and enables RoboHELP 3.0 users to display
special Word features in Windows Help such as smart quotes, em-dashes,
en-dashes, bulleted lists, numbered lists and hanging indents exactly the
same way they are displayed in Word 6.0.

International Support - RoboHELP now supports the U.S. and the major
European versions of Word 6.0 for Windows - all in one product.

Import Existing Files - Existing .RTF source files, graphics and documents
can be imported. Users can also import existing Help systems not
originally created with RoboHELP, utilizing all pre-existing hypertext
links and keywords.

With HelpCheck Tools, simulation and testing of the Help file no longer
require the time-consuming compile process. HelpCheck Tools include:

* Check Mode, to detect any potential syntax errors before compilation
* Error Wizard, to instantly locate and explain any error
* Link Tester, to test jumps without needing to compile
* Preview Mode, to preview actual Help topics without needing to
  compile
* Topic QuickView, to instantly view the compiled version of any topic

New Macro Hotspot Editor lets Help authors instantly access, edit and use
any macro supported by the Windows Help engine. RoboHELP gives users a
complete definition of the functionality provided by each macro. Using the
Macro Hotspot Editor is so easy that users do not need to be Help experts
or to have any special technical knowledge to integrate macros into their
Help files.

Two-way Conversion - RoboHELP automatically converts existing documentation
into a Help system or vice-versa. RoboHELP allows users to import existing
Word files, and to have heading styles converted into topics and index
entries converted into search keywords.

New Document Templates streamline the creation and layout of printed
documentation. These templates include styles for headings, text, bullets
and tips. Help authors can easily turn their Help systems into printed
documentation with these templates and RoboHELP's automatic Export
feature.

Enhanced Visual Interface with a new sixteen-icon tool palette gives users
instant access to all functionality needed for creating a Help system -
from standard Help features such as jumps, topics, and popup windows to
more advanced features such as macros, secondary windows, color settings
and more. The RoboHELP tool palette now includes four new icons for easy
navigation through topics and for instant access to the Macro Hotspot
Editor and the Topic QuickView feature.

VBX and Custom Controls included in RoboHELP provide an easy solution for
quickly integrating context-sensitive Help into any application written in
C, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland C++, PowerBuilder, and more. Users
simply drag and drop the included PushHelp button in the application's
screens and dialog boxes, and visually select the desired Help topic.
