   txt? pdf? html? man? doc? Its all good & embedding means   
   its *always* with you program:   
      
   static unsigned char help[] = {   
   0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x70, 0x3A,   
   0x0A, 0x0A, 0x78, 0x0A, 0x79,   
   0x0A, 0x78, 0x0A, 0x00   
   };   
      
   printf("%s\n", help)   
      
   --
