It's poorly/inaccurately documented in all versions of Delphi I've
ever experimented with. FWIW, the help file for TCompress
(download via http://spis.co.nz/compress.htm) has instructions in
the "installation" section for installing *itself* in with Delphi's help:
a) Work reliably, as far as we've ever seen
b) Will probably work for yours too
Caveat: I don't bother with the .cnt files, but I believe they work
pretty much as advertised in the Delphi docs. Big hint: delete
the hidden "delphi*.gid" file before restarting help. Otherwise it
never has cause to rebuild it and hence never "sees" your help
file...
NB: You gotta have the right "keyword footnotes" -- type "A" for
D3/D4 I believe, type "B" for earlier versions of Delphi, IIRC.
