Is there no longer a downloadable Windows Help file for DBISAM? All I find
is the online version which is much less useful, in my opinion anyway.

I don't remember a separate one. The only one's I've seen are part of the install. They usually end up in the Help subdirectory of the DBISAM install directory.

Roy,

Thanks. No help file that I can find was installed with V4.25 and I
apparently deleted the old one with the old version. I restored it from
backups.

I hate web-based help files. Give me the old fashioned local .htm files.

Nah - give me the .pdf every time. OLH is great if you know what you're looking for and how to find it. Scrolling through the .pdf is far more helpful most of the time.

I gave up on windows help so long ago that to me help means pdf. When the OP asked about
help, I though he *meant* pdf.

For D2007 and BDS2006 I don't see the older style help (.hlp) in my install directories.
Just the integrated Delphi help and the pdf.

Actually, I found an older D5 version but, back when I wrote the initial
post, stupid me forgot that it got integrated into Delphi's help. I've
gotten too used to 3rd party tools that don't do that.

Thanks for the response.

Those versions only come with the newer MS Help 2.
