Ping Omega: [PL] Info page update

[Susan Bugher]

I've added information and links for your Pricelessware CHM files - also
for the Program Information pages.

Does the wording look okay to you?

Thank you, Susan. And it's time for me to copy your latest updates to
the PL2004 pages. I'll be revving up the bot later on (probably tonight).

Looks good. The only thought I had was how the standout links say, eg
"Help file: 2004 Pricelessware programs." The way people skim when reading
on the web, they might not read the text in the paragraph that explains
what it is -- and get their hopes up, that it is Help with PL programs.
But no substitute wording is occuring to me, and it'd be a tiny matter
anyway.

I uploaded revised pages this morning but suspect there will be a few
more changes to make before I finalize the CD. You might want to wait
till *tomorrow* night.

A very valid point - I think what's needed instead of "help file" is. . .

are you ready?

wait for it. . .

ta da. . .

an acronym: CHM

The reader is likely to be an acronymophobiac (I just made that up).
They won't understand and therefore won't get their hopes up.

whatcha think?

I read this proposition with delight.

Computer acronyms are the way of things, they're good for us (make us
strong, like the Guiness ads say). And you're right, someone seeing
"It's a CHM" shouldn't be too likely misled into thinking it's program
Help documentation.

I've also just seen Stan's solution. That looks to solve the problem
equally. Where he uses the phrase: "Help File Format."

Hopefully you can choose final refinements from somewhere in this?
