LinKit!
Allows you to link any context sensitive help or HTML file to Windows applications without the need to modify the source code. The followed approach cannot be recommended as an alternative to creating conventional help, but it is an interesting option if you have to provide domain-specific information for third party software. For example, a company could decide to use some off-the-shelf project management software and add some context sensitive instructions for employees on company-specific policies.
Price: depending on number of installations; starting at approx. €3,000
