I don't mind hlp format but I prefer chm. I think its looks cleaner than the hlp format and that makes reading it not so much of a chore.

Well, when HLP || CHM, then of course, they are about equal, but please don't make it in pdf, and ASCII isn't the best either.
CHM better, 'cuz newer, it has better schrolling options I didn't like the HLP's no-schroll at all option;) |

John, to me, the problem was as follow:
* Html > Too slow. * Pdf > Terrific (absolutely unusable IMO). * Hlp/Chm > M$. * Ascii > So sad... So, to me, the only way to go was to write a Viewer in Asm. I did a big error, when doing this: The use of standard rtf Files and of RichEdit Functionalities. I will have to redo all of this, when i will have some time, and the new way i am now thinking is with writing an Editor plus a Viewer, with a custom format with the real infos i need inside, for the Viewer.

I vote for CHM because of smaller size, and because CHM files can be easily created from HTML.

Hi,

[don't you just love that multi-purpose word?] I saw the spark of a good idea in Docker but alas, in its current incarnation, it falls short of its MS counterparts. Let us know if you will proceed with this project, I may learn something new. |

Feel free of writing a better "Docker", or something else, Kain.

I voted CHM becuase:
btw, RTF, isn't there two RTF formats, the "real" and M$ implentation? Which one is the source of .hlp files? I think CHM is avalible under linux, .hlp isn't supported (unless you play with wine, ofcourse =) The advantage of HTML/XHTML source files is that it can be used for online viewing too, and can (relativley) easily be converted to other formats. _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |

I think chm is the right choice because:
1. Available also in Linux 2. It is easy to produce or maintain. 3. It is as light as one wants to do (hand written html of course). 4. Easy to direct web-publishing. 5. It is possible to write a light reader in fasm Betov: I agree with you that current MS reader is crappy and we need to have better technology for help files, but the chm as format is good, what do you think? |

.HLP is obsolete.
I used to have old computer and chm load very slow, I made habit to use .hlp. Bad habit, use .chm. |
