Can somebody out there explain how to use help compiler
from Borland C++ 3.1 - does it really work and I'm just missing something?
When I tried to add to my application a facility to supply context
help from a dialog box ('Help' button) I got the following:

    When destroying THelpWindow after a user closes it the application
    terminates with assertion failed in file new.cpp (TV file).
    De* tells that it happens when THelpContext objects get
    destroyed and heapcheck() in new.cpp says the heap is in wrong state.

I'm not sure it's done by my code 'cause all I do is :
   it = new THelpWindow(...
     ...
   destroy(it) ...

Perhaps someone have already run into this problem. Any advice will
be greatly appreciated. BTW, help compiler built from Borland's sources
does not work it all - it terminates with that same assertion failed in
new.cpp [Ha-ha!]. It can't even cope with Borland's help file example.

Thanks in advance.

There is a borland patch for this problem, or at least a patch
that solves that problem. Get this (and other) patches from
(e.g.) wuarchive.wustl.edu!
