- I'm not sure about this. In my copy of the BC++ 3.1 utility manual at least,
- the documentation is the same as that which came with BC++ 2.0. I was unable
- to find anything on HC31; not even on a disk file somewhere. In fact, the
- only way I was able to get the browse buttons to show themselves was to look
- in one of the example files (helpex, I think) and see how that did it. I know
- there are a few more things HC31 can do (some of the Borland stuff at least
- manages to get "Group", "Up" and "Overview" buttons), but I have no idea how.
-
- Is it just that I have an early copy of the manual, or is Borland's
- documentation not up to scratch (again)? Is there any better documentation
- around (apart from the SDK, that is)?
