Hi, to answer your question: > DOS\HELP - all help files
This contains only files which are called "project.*", like "project" or "project.cn" or "project.es" or "project.htm" ... Actually the CURRENT way is even simpler: DOS\HELP\ contains files which are called "project". So for example the help file of PG would be in the file DOS\HELP\PG ... DOS\HELP\ also contains a subdirectory HHSTNDRD with HTML help: DOS\HELP\HHSTNDRD\PG.HTM But you do not have to provide pg.htm - this is usually written by the maintainer of HTML Help. Even DOS\HELP\PG is usually put there by the maintainer of the help system. It is often something like the output of PG /? or a copy of PG.MAN ... So your PG download would only contain DOS\BIN\ -> PG binary and files needed by the binary DOS\SOURCE\PG\ -> all source code files of PG including Makefile etc. DOS\DOC\PG\ -> all documentation, can for example contain a "readme" or "todo" or "news.txt" ... If you want to be nice, you can add: DOS\APPINFO\PG.LSM with the file for the online software list and the installer. Eric. > DOS\NLS - national language support this would contain PG.EN PG.FR PG.DE PG.ES PG.RU PG.CN ... in short: all translations-of-strings files if your PG program is able to load translated strings dynamically. I think you can use the versions of FIND / COMP / ... on my homepage as examples how to load strings dynamically with help of the KITTEN library (of which I used a modified version). [This is a reply to the question by BAHCL: What if DOS\HELP ends up to contain several files which are all called readme? Answer: This does not happen. PG would only be "allowed" to have files DOS\HELP\PG and DOS\HELP\HHSTNDRD\PG.HTM in the help directory, the rest of the readme / documentation would be in DOS\DOC\PG\ ...] PS: The ZIP would NOT contain a DOS directory. You first CD to \DOS and then unzip THERE. So the ZIP contains for example a DOC\PG\ directory!
