I've been saying this for years, but the Lazarus developers can't seem 
to make a decision on a offline help format... so we are all stuck (by 
default) with the crap online only wiki help.

Kylix Help:
===========
I placed Kylix 3 Open Edition (free version) on the following locations 
for download. It's a 91MB download. It includes the help files. The 
installation will be a problem on new distros, but you can simply unpack 
the .rpm files manually to get to the help files and hyperhelp viewer.

Here are instructions for adding Kylix 3 help to Lazarus IDE.

fpGUI's Docview:
================
Attached is a screenshot of how to setup DocView with Lazarus IDE, via 
the External Tools dialog. INF format help and a slightly old Docview 
binary can be downloaded from fpGUI's SourceForge Downloads page. Both 
the INF help (with completed FPC Language Reference file) and binary 
Docview will be updated soon, with the new fpGUI release.
