A while back I wrote a program to read Aurora include files into a database..  The fields could be edited and then a set of help file pages could be generated using predefined templates.

The current Aurora Help files for all the classes, methods, functions, structures are based on that program.
I later modified the Help file Generator to read EBasic include files.

Portions of the pages of the help files for my linkedlist lib (LList  http://www.ionicwind.com/forums/index.php/topic,1632.msg15203.html#msg15203) and my xml lib (CXmlLM  http://www.ionicwind.com/forums/index.php/topic,1603.msg15670.html#msg15670) were generated by my program.
The portion that covers classes/methods/functions/structures/constants.

I'm thinking of rewriting the program to use xml files for storage instead of dbase files, making more things about the pages configurable, and possibly making the text edit controls in the program appear as wysiwyg editors.

I know there would be a limited audience for the program (those who create libs with standalone classes and functions).

What I need to know is if their is anyone out there who would be willing to pay a small price for such a program.

If there is no interest then I'm not going to waste my time.
