Michael Fullerton	EDB used to come with Windows Help files. These seem to now be gone. Can we get these back? I'd prefer HTML help but Windows Help is better than PDFs.

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Michael I'm the opposite I prefer the pdf's. Standard help files are great when you know what you're looking for and all you want is to refresh your memory but pdf's are much better for browsing and "I know I've seen it somewhere"s Roy Lambert

All of the later versions of the Borland and CodeGear products use MS Help 2, not WinHelp. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com

MS Help 2 looks better than HTML Help. Don't know why MS doesn't support it in their OS'es better. I want to give my users your help file so I need something supported by XP and Vista.

We don't have plain HTMLHelp versions of the help yet, but we will after the .NET support is finished up (which is almost done). It's been on the list for some time, and isn't that difficult to accomplish since we already have the HTML help generation done. The only difference is in the organizing and compiling. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com
