Blitzmax Help Files in CHM format

Updated Mar-18-2007 New Version of CHM File Uploaded for v1.24 - BlitzMaxHelp.chm

One of the downside of Blitzmax is its documentation and help system. In some ways the module info system with its self generating html documentation is good and the IDE provides some assistance to help programmers. Most of us I suspect missed having the good old searchable and indexed help system that we have used before.

So I set out to create a compiled version from the Blitzmax html files which uses the Microsoft compiled html help SDK to generate the compiled version.

For Mac and Linux users you can try viewing chm file using xchm or KchmViewer. I have no experience with this but apparently some BlitzMax users have had some success. See forum thread here.

I finally obtained permission from BRL to distribute this to the community. Enjoy :)

The CHM File can be downloaded from **** (BlitzMax help v116a) **download file deleted**

Note that on some XP systems, you cannot view the CHM file until is unblocked (Microsoft security against malware). You will need to right click the downloaded file, select property and unblock it.
