Where does the 96DPI figure come from?

Hello All,

The format WinHelp likes best is WMF, which can contain both vector 
and bitmap elements.  However, if you are using WinHelp in 16-bit
Windows systems (Win95, Win98, ME), there's a memory leak in the
system code that displays WMFs that results in strange display
behavior; in that case, it's better to use BMPs.  For screenshots,
use the same resolution at which they were taken, 96DPI; more or
less will result in unreadable text.

HTH!
