[Lazarus] Lazarus helpfiles

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

You raise some valid points, which might still be a concern today. I
still get annoyed when I need to setup a Windows development machine.
I would like a Lazarus binary release, but without FPC, because I
prefer to keep my FPC source on par with the FPC Fixes branch. So I
don't need the outdated FPC that is included with the Lazarus
installer.

I was one of those poor souls that had limited bandwidth per month.
That is why I offered the INF help and DocView to the Lazarus
community. INF files + DocView binary is a mere 2.3MB download - and
the INF help files contain all the same information as the other
formats. Oh, and it is supplied in the ZIP format. ;-)

As far as I know, documentation for LCL only follows Lazarus Trunk, so
as soon as a release is made, the help for that release is cast in
stone.
