RE: New Win32 help format

[Edwards, Mark (CXO)]

Active has a module called ActivePerl-HTML that will generate the TOC in
HTML format.  The newest version of PPM updates the HTML help when a new
module is installed or removed.

It would be nice if the Win32 help was updated too.  Not sure if there's
a way to do it.

Hello perl-win32-users,

This is an excerpt from the Activestate change logs for
build 630:


The style and content of the included online documentation
has been extensively revised. On Windows, all the
documentation is now provided in fully searchable HTML Help
format. Documentation in conventional HTML format continues
to be included only for Unix platforms, and can also be
downloaded separately.


The new HTML help format is great, and even allows you to
browse through OLE type libraries looking for constants and
functions!

*BUT*

My questions are...

1. Where can the "downloaded separately" conventional HTML help
be downloaded? The changelog makes no mention of an URL, nor does
the Activestate web site provide any clues that I can find.

2. Can I add to the new HTML help? Can installed modules be 
inserted? Or do I have to look in one place for the core 
documentation and another for user installed modules?

RE: New Win32 help format

[Dunnigan,Jack [Edm]]

I like the searching functionality! BUT - if the pages you need are not
there, then the search won't help :-(

For example: If I install (for example) Tk and Win32::API.. the docs are
nowhere to be found. And sorry, but perldoc isn't an answer for me.

Suggestion: I think the compiled help should include docs for "Every" module
available via Activestate's repository. This way you may have more
documentation than you need. (Hmm..is there any such thing as having too
much documentation?) 

Jack
