OCC and Blue Sky

The collaboration for the Help-to-HTML development stemmed from a relationship first established between the two companies when Blue Sky decided to license OCC’s Windows Help Browser which proved eminently productive, with several thousand copies being sold worldwide. Blue Sky Directors were so impressed with OCC’s Windows Help Browser that they commissioned OCC to write and produce their Help-to-HTML application. In addition, OCC supplied other components of Blue Sky’s highly successful Web Office and WinHelp Office products, most notably the Hyperviewer in WinHelp Office.
