Blitzmax Help Files in CHM format
Update May-2-2006 New Version of CHM File Uploaded for v1.20 - 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. But 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. This unfortunately rules out its use for the Mac and Linux
I finally obtained permission from BRL to distribute this to the community. So Enjoy
The CHM File can be downloaded from here (BlitzMax help v116a)
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.

Works on OS X too: chmox.sourceforge.net/
And Linux: xchm.sourceforge.net/
So CHM’s are readable across all BlitzMax platforms

Just to say, thanks, thats excellent, as a newbie to blitzmax there`s loads of help around but its so disorganised, half the time you’ve got the info you need but by the time you find it you’ve forgottern what you were doing !.
Now i’ve go a really excellent centralised starting point when trying to find what BM can do and how to do it.
Your work will help me (and loads of others no doubt) save a lot of time , effort and (it comes with programming) frustration.
thanks - B^)
