Sure, and Goba will do his best :)

> Many PHP developers using Windows also use HomeSite - which has an
extensible Help system for Help files in HTML format. The PHP help
can be intergrated in the development environment, and is searchable
in the context of all help files installed.  A CHM format would make
it incompatible and deny all HomeSite users this integration in
their development environment: that would be a grave loss of
functionality!

I have seen yesterday a very cool and impressive function reference
integrated in weaverslave.  Thomas Weinert www.weaverslave.de.
Thomas is the main author of weaverslave and we meet us on a
regulary basis at our PHP meetings in Stuttgart, Germany.

> Rather than CHM, give us a regular snapshot of the *commented*
manual - the current downladable manual sorely misses the valuable
comments.

This is true :(

> P.S. I personally wrote an extension for HomeSite: the PHP
expression builder; this is based on PHP3; a version for PHP4 is
planned. I'm also working on tools for even *better* integration of
the PHP HTML help files with HomeSite. The current PHP Expression
Builder can be found on my downloads page:
http://hshelp.com/downloads.html

Thomas showed me a version, which is uptodate with version 4.0.6.
