- Hi.
-
- You dont need to buy the books because they are accessible online
- from the CD-ROM.
-
- If you installed the WINDOWS related files you can read the docs as
- WINDOWS-helpfiles (*.hlp) or if you use the DOS Compiler (my favourite one)
- you try after setting all the PATH's correct etc.
-
- WHELP
-
- It gives you a list of all *.ihp files (the DOS-version of the *.hlp files)
- found and you can choose then the one you want to read. Like this:
-
- WHELP clib
-
- If you need help for a special topic of the file and you know its name like
- "printf" or "getchar" try
-
- WHELP clib printf
- or
- WHELP clib getchar
-
- and the helper program opens the page you wanted.
-
- Hope that helps
-
- Lars.
