This is a web-friendly copy of a help file I put together as a Time Line for Windows supplement while working for Symantec. Most of the writing is mine. It's raw and unedited by anyone other than myself.

I produced the original .HLP file for this project in 1993. The .HLP to HTML conversion that you are viewing now was a 'quicky' conversion, so a few minor cosmetic differences resulted from the conversion. For example, some indentation in the topics is lost, popup definitions go to another page instead of popping up a definition, and a few deeply-nested references don't link to their popup definitions, even though their underlined appearance implies a link.

Finally, the conversion process produced no glossary file, so the only way to see the glossary is one word at a time, by clicking on an underlined word.

Perhaps someday I'll spend time to correct these differences, but I don't plan to. The original contents are all here. You might even find a typo or two, but I'll bet not!
