Firefly PB9 Help

[Brian Chirgwin]

I setup Firefly 2.90 for PB9

Trying to open PB 9 help I receive the following message.

Cannot find the pbwin.hlp file. Do you want to find this yourself?

I tried renaming the .chm to .hlp, but it fails to load.

Anyone else having this trouble?

Hi Brian,

Sorry about that. I never put a PB9 compiler check in the Help file code therefore no correct path is being set to the help file when you press F1.

If you are no longer using PB8 then you can simply update the PB8 preferences to point to the PB9 compiler and directories. That should work. Maybe even putting the help file in the Windows PATH may work.

I will upload an update within a week but I would like to see if any other problems surface prior to doing that.

Thanks!

Thanks. I thought it was working at one point and stopped. I thought I did something to break it.

No rush.

When I select the Help icon I am getting the old PB8.03 help screen. I would like to see the new PB9 help. Can you walk me through the steps so I can see the new PB9 help....

Hi Andy,

Invoking F1 (or selecting Help icon) is broken in this update. I will upload a fix (hopefully today).

It would appear that PB went to .chm (Compiled HTML help file) completely with PB9.
In my PBWin80\bin folder, I have a PBWin.hlp and a PBWin.chm (a year newer than the .hlp).  In PBWin90\bin I only have a PBWin.chm

FF doesn't seem to know what to do with .chm files.
If  PBWin.hlp for PBWin90 is available on PB's site, I can't find it.

New upload to (hopefully) fix the Help file problem.

Works great now!   I didn't realize that you put support in for .chm's a while back.  I would have mentioned that it didn't work for me a while ago.

Thanks,

David
