Hello,

I've generated a new help snapshot. (chm files)

The archive still is at

http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/doc-chm.zip

and contains rtl,fcl,lcl ,fpdoc,ref,user,prog.chm

This release benefits from several improvements in the fpdoc generation, specially links between packages, and links in class "inheritance" descriptions.

As a result of this, the size also increased considerably, specially the LCL one.

Greetings
Marco

Note that the archive includes a backup version of readmechm.txt.

Also note that FP bombs out under OS/2 when adding all the CHM files and trying to open contents (I guess that this would be probably some OS/2 specific bug in RTL, but I haven't had time to have a look at it yet).

Fixed.

I suspect the TOC file is not ok. Does it work if you just add the other ones?

BTW:
I'll try and release today INF versions of the RTL, FCL, LCL and fpGUI documentation. You can then use NewView or VIEW to view them under OS/2, or fpGUI Docview under Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. The FPC Language Reference document in INF format is not complete yet, but I might release it as-is, and make in a week or two the completed version available.

I'll be happy to test your INF files (in theory viewing them should work in FP too, but I've already noticed in the past that there were some problems).
