Help Magician - Home Page of Winhelp and HTML HELP authoring tools
Description
Incorporated in 1985, Software Interphase has been providing custom programming services, electronic engineering services, and marketing services for a variety of products. Prior to 1985, the founder Don Lambert, has been a pioneer in the first commercial bulletin board system (Syslink, run on a TRS-80 with modified TRSDOS and Microsoft Level II Basic interpreter) that provided email and "filemail" to sister sites --- over 13 years before the Internet became commercial! The systems would link to each other (with a dial-up 300/1200 baud modem) in the early hours of the morning and exchange mail, public bulletins, and files.
In 1987, we provided a rich set of tools for programmers that offered communication and windowing in text-based DOS. We received a write-up in Byte magazine which effectively launched SII on the map. In the coming years before Windows became popular (pre Windows 3.0), we sold thousands of copies of QuickWindows and QuickComm for QuickBasic and C --- both products received the prestigeous awards from the readers of BasicPro magazine (now called Visual Studio). We toured the country along with Crescent Software (Ethan Winer), MicroHelp (Mark Novasoff), and other tool vendors. In addition, we provided other tools such as LiveWindows (real-time video capture and motion detection), Designer QuickWindows (screen layout and property editing tool for QuickWindows -- many ideas were "borrowed" by Microsoft when they created Visual Basic 1.0), Visual Librarian, and LiteSwitch.
In 1992, we turned our focus to Windows development and introduced Help Magician, the only stand-alone help authoring tool that didn't require Microsoft Word. Other tools such as Doc2Help and RoboHelp required Word. Through good promotion, glowing reviews, and customer satisfaction, Help Magician quickly became the number 2 help authoring tool with many distributors selling our product worldwide. It is estimated over 20,000 copies were sold between 1992 and 1998.
