30% bigger than the size of the uncompressed html files?!

There was some bug somewhere a while ago where $FIftiMain was
incorrectly searched for as $FiftiMain (i vs I) so maybe make sure lhelp
is a recent build.

I attached the example.chm file that I made a couple of minutes ago
using chmmaker with the project in the example subfolder. Can you see if
it works for you? I opened it in lhelp and the toc, index and search
were all working.

Can you PM me the chm(s) that are not working for you? Also what version
of fpc are you using for which platform?

Thanks,

Andrew Haines
