I actually thought that some of the features that were added into Delphi 4 help
(such as the class heirarchy help) was very useful. You are I presume commenting
on the _content_?

I presume you are referring to the comment in another email about NDA? Well, we
do hold NDAs in pretty high regard - if we (Inprise NZ) are held to be lax in
regard to NDAs, then we can get a severe rap over the knuckles - the behaviour
of the people we give them to affects us and so we try to be careful about NDAs.
We are generally happy to get software to people to try out, and get comments
back about it, but it is commercially sensitive - Inprise _is_ the second
largest development tools company after Microsoft...
That said, I always believed that the amount of help that comes with Delphi
could be better - there is a whole host of information out there that is so very
simple to include - the UK Delphi Group have a very good CD with loads of great
stuff on it, there are millions on FAQs and so forth. So you're right, things
could be better, but saying that D4 help was worse than D3, I don't agree and I
don't agree that D5 help is worse than D4.
