Wasn't a complaint -- I was enquiring why the .chm format wasn't included as standard; you and other respondents have kindly clued me in: (a) PITA to produce (b) mixed opinions as to whether it's better than HTML. I would do something if I thought I had any expertise in the area, but I don't. > If you think Tim's got an >negative attitude about win32 distro, I think you need a reality >adjustment. Would that be the same timbot to which I sent win32 versions of patch and diff way back when it was still running under win95 so that it could repair/enhance itself? If so, I don't think it has such an attitude :-) The word I used was "reactive" (not "negative") --- I got the impression from Tim's tagline that the general Pythonlabs attitude (not Tim's) was "we'll fix bugs in the win32 distro but we're not actively promoting it". Again: I'm utterly delighted to be corrected. Thanks. Best regards, John
