There has been 137 commits already since the fpGUI 0.7 release - many
of them related to DocView improvements - which includes a new form
and some extra components. Not sure why the 12% size change though -
that seems a bit much. Maybe I didn't have the same compiler version
or compiler settings as you. Could you let me know what compiler
version and settings you used to compile DocView?
FPC 2.4.0 as distributed with Lazarus distribution (but compiled from command line, i.e. not using Lazarus), no special options.

A known problem. IBM is just about the only people I know that used
*all* the features the INF file format supports. The major one being
controlling multiple help windows inside VIEW. It's those multiple
windows that bug me and many other OS/2 users)over the years. Not all
INF help files managed window placement, size etc. very well. For this
reason I decided to let DocView only have one view area - after all,
the reason I created DocView is for newers applications - not really
help files from 15 years ago. :-)
Well, 8 years old documentation for the OS/2 and eCS API is still the latest (and the version distributed with that old VP/2 is just the only "pascalized" one ever)...
Saying that, with IBM's IPFC20.INF and some other OS/2 help files I
could manage to get to some of those hidden topics via the Index (set
index to Full in "Settings - Options - General") or the Search tab.
Sorry, but that's useless for regular work.

Could you maybe email me in private one of those INF files - I'll see
if I can make DocView work with them a little better. My preferred
email is: graemeg at gmail dot com
Sure, will do (at latest during the weekend). I'll also check whether the "standard" version of CPREF distributed with the latest OS/2 Developer Toolkit works any better (and also recheck whether NewView can cope with the VP/2 version correctly).
