hi The attachment, readhelp.pas.gz, is a simple, fast reader for the reference portion of the gpc manual. Uncompress with gunzip. The first few lines after the start is a "readme". Be sure to read it before compiling. The plan here is to merge this program with an updated version of the simple Pascal Editor I contributated a little over a year ago. When done will contribute the result. Meanwhile, perhaps this little program will encourage someone to work on the gpc manual. russ
