RE: Carbon CFM app

Did you change the file type and creator codes of your content files to
those of Help Viewer? Couldn't hurt.

That didn't seem to work. First off, I had to create the Help folder in
~/Library/ because it wasn't there. I ran our Help Files folder through
the Apple Help Indexing Tool and it generated the index. I even logged
out and in to see if that made it rebuild its list of known help books.

When I look in Help Viewer's Library menu, it doesn't list my help book.

Any other ideas? Or help files are generated by RoboHelp, so their
format is pretty crappy, but I did fix up the main file so it didn't
generate any warnings in AHIT.
