Well, I believe that the point made by Graeme was primarily related to
existence of good CHM viewers for Linux, not to the format itself (this
time at least ;-) ) or support of this or that format in our textmode IDE.
Nevertheless, having the support of searching added also to our IDE would
be indeed nice. ;-) Proper support for IBM .INF documents (including the
OS/2 API documentation) in his viewer would be very nice too. ;-)))
