<div>Unfortunately we can not add .hlp or .chm (as far as I know) directly to the D2005 and probably D2006 help systems, hence some of us use the tools option.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which is annoying esp when someone has gone to the trouble of linking their component(s) to a help file for other developers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Developing help under the new help system can have numerous issues I've decided to steer clear of it for now. . </div>
<div> </div>
<div>May be DevCo will fix this for us ? So that we can relink our component and other help files bak in across all the help systems ? </div>
<div>Seems sensible. Uhm . . does that matter ? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>After these lean Delphi IDE years, its going to become a mantra, </div>
<div>I can see it know - sort of like a developers Cargo Cult . .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>DevCo will make it right again . . . .</div>
<div>DevCo will fix it . . . .</div>
<div>DevCo will make it better . . . .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The actual realisation of anything won't matter, we'll just keep chanting it . . .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>DevCo will make it right again . . . .</div>
<div>DevCo will fix it . . . .</div>
<div>DevCo will make it better . . . .</div></div>
