Help Magician Elite works under Vista
We have found that Help Magician Elite will work under Vista provided you follow a few steps regarding Vista security and setting compatibility with prior operating systems.  Also, if you created help using legacy WinHelp format (.hlp), your customers can still read your help file by installing WINHLP32.EXE (it does not ship with Vista but is available for download from Microsoft.  We can no longer provide the winhelp engine as Microsoft has removed that permission from third party vendors).  We'll publish a detailed white paper and post it on this web site soon.

Special Offer for RoboHelp Customers
Since RoboHelp is nearing its end of life, we are offering a special deal for RoboHelp customers.  Get a copy of Help Magician Elite for $175 -- that's $74 off the normal price of $249 for a single user license.  If you are interested in a multiple user site license, contact us for special pricing.  Simply provide us proof of RoboHelp ownership (scanned image of product serial number or front page of manual).  Help Magician Elite has the ability to import your RoboHelp project (in native RTF for WinHelp development or HTML for HTML Help development) so you can continue on with your help development.  

News Release
Foster, RI -- Software Interphase, Inc. regains exclusive publishing rights to Help Magician Elite, the premier WYSIWYG help authoring program that supports WinHelp, HTML Help, Web Help, and Tri-Pane help from one source file.  We were the original company that introduced Help Magician back in 1992 and carried it until 1998 (over 20,000 copies sold).  We were responsible for making Help Magician the #2 help authoring program during the 1990's.  We've received many positive reviews from major magazines like PC Magazine, Windows Magazine, etc.  Now we'll be offering Help Magician Elite at much lower price ($249 single user license) and the same high-standards of service you've come to expect from us.  Unlike the companies of RoboHelp or Doc2Help that charge $99 per incident tech support, our tech support is FREE.  Stateline Software no longer has the legal right to sell or distribute Help Magician.  Prior (international) distributors of Help Magician please contact us for information.

We'd like to welcome Business Consulting Saxony (BCS) as our premier German distributor for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.  We'd also like to welcome QBS Software from the United Kingdom and Microway from Australia.  

If you are interested in ordering Help Magician Elite and wish to pay with a credit card, send us an email (put Help Magician in subject) or call us at (401) 397-4540.  Currently this site accepts PayPal for online payments.  Be sure to visit the More Info page on Help Magician Elite -- the entire web-based online manual was generated with Help Magician!  

If you are looking for ForeHelp, the company that made ForeHelp (ForeFront) ceased operations Jan 2002.  Now, Help Magician is the best choice for WYSIWYG help authoring.  If you've created files in ForeHelp, they are importable into Help Magician with virtually no changes.

We've recently acquired a zip code database for use in our upcoming municipal town clerk software package (probate management, business licensing, dog licensing, etc).  We are giving a plug to zip-code-database.org.  Thank you.

If there's anything we can do to help you along, please feel free to contact us!

Sincerely,

Don Lambert, CEO
