The helpConfig.txt file contains tactic parameters for viewing the help document. There are four possibilities:
- TYPE=CLASSIC
: Use it if you have webgrabber.jar in your CLASSPATH environment variable and if you intend to start WebGrabber from a Shell/DOS box with the following command:
java webgrabber.WSGrabber
Note: This is NOT the usual java -jar webgrabber.jar command
Normally, it is for debugging purposes
- TYPE=JAR
: This is the default setting. The help system uses little computer resources but it is blocked when a WebGrabber modal dialog is displayed. The modal dialogs are the Open Topic Roots and the Progress dialogs.
- TYPE=SOCKET
: This setting requires that a help server (contained in the wghelp.jar file) be started before starting the WebGrabber.
- TYPE=SOCKET_SELF
: With this setting, WebGrabber itself starts the help server; this setting might not work in some systems.
For controlling the help system through a network socket, the following parameters are used:
- IP=
: The IP address of the help server (the default value is 127.0.0.1, the localhost)
- PORT=
: The port value of the help server (the default value is 2000).
Notes:
- Do not put a space before nor after the equal sign.
- The first line of text must be: [HELPCONFIG]
- Lines starting by the # character are treated as comment lines.
- Only one TYPE= line should be uncommented.
