This is Rob Chandler's excellent shareware HTML Help authoring tool. Developed primarily as a means for creating HTML Help files from FrontPage webs, FAR has a large number of utilities built-in, including:

  • Supports the Visual Studio Help Integration Kit.
  • Find & Replace and PKZIP.
    • Drop a web site or folder onto FAR. Drop file filters exclude FrontPage special directories and other unwanted files and folders.
    • Search and Replace across all FAR list files. Search understands those unexpected line breaks and spaces found in HTML files.
    • Advanced Search options allow you find strings that are littered with other HTML elements, and replace strings without disturbing those items.
    • Zip up the files in the FAR list to a PKZIP and WinZip compatible zip file.
    • View PKZip files.
    • Copy all files in the list to a new location.
    • Create reports or batch files using the list of files.
    • Other handy file utilities - rename file, set file date/time, strip HTML tags.
    • Unicode compatible
