A compressed help file only needs to be generated if the customized help is to be called up as a dedicated file independent of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application or if the extended print functions are to be used. For example, related chapters and sub-chapters can be printed via the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS help browser.
A help compiler "htmlhelp.exe" must be installed to generate a compiled help.
This program is provided free-of-charge by Microsoft and can be downloaded for the installation with the following address:

In the help files directory there are also the following files which are needed
to generate the compiled help.
A selection window opens after depression of this button and the user can then
define the profile for which a compiled help file is to be created in the
directory of the customized help. A compiled help file generates a compressed
help file (e.g. "help.deutsch.1.chm") from all linked help files.
This can then be called up as a dedicated help system (MICROS Retail OSCAR POS help browser).
