Laptop Computers Windows 95 and applications designed for Windows 95 use the WinHelp engine to create a help system that is slightly different from Windows 98 HTML Help. Even if you use Windows 98, you will probably continue to see and use help based on the WinHelp engine because it is used with Windows 95–compatible applications. Figure 4.6 shows the Windows 95 Help system's Contents tab for Microsoft Word 97. It is similar to the Contents tab in Windows 98 Help. However, Windows 95 Help has only a single pane. The Index and Search tabs function similarly to those in HTML Help, but they also disappear when you select a help selection.

And then, of course, we have the Standalone Server product, which is called Acronis True Image Server for Windows or Linux and that will manage a single standalone server. What type of computers can we back up, because in a medium to a large sized, even some small sized businesses, who knows what kind of computers they have They may have laptops, they may have desktops, they may just have anything and everything

Desktop Computer If you compare Figure 4.1 with Figure 4.6, you see that the HTML Help in Figure 4.1 displays the procedural steps or help information in a window to the side of the help topic. Because the Contents or Index list in Windows 98 Help remains open in the left pane, you can easily see the context of a procedure and related help. However, in Windows 95 Help, the Contents, Index, and Search tabs disappear when a Help window appears.

Notebooks Another significant difference between the two types of help is that Windows 98 Help is displayed in a browser. Therefore, it can run scripting languages, supports Dynamic HTML, and contains links to Internet and intranet sites. This feature enables Windows 98 Help to be more active and to link users to current information and downloadable files.
