Hi fred.

Very users( more beginners ) need to help and have very questions .

And allways open new topic for it and then other users say to he/she please search forum for this topic.

I think if you like, can convert this forums to Chm ( windows help file ) and upload it in download page.

Then all beginners when download purebasic can download this pack for best help to a user.

Then users not open new topics for questions if it exist in forums .

I think this is best help for users.

Thanks.

These forums can be easily gleened w/ Adobe Acrobat

(not reader) into a PDF format.. But the size would be close to 50 megs. ... you sure?

Maybe just a selection of tips, tricks, answers, etc.

I don't think that having a 50-100 meg chm or PDF file is going to be of any real benefit to users. They need to come here and browse or use the forum search to get help..

If someone wants to compile a filtered list of tips and other documentation I think that would be great - but not just a dump of all the forum topics..

When convert this forums in chm format it just have size about 25 MB or less ( Without images ).

I don't like Pdf format, it's not good for browse big pages.

Fred can just build beginners and windows of list in this forums. ( then size is about 18 MB ).

Easy and free softwares convert html to chm format.

I see this way in other forums when users have very questions.

It's big help and is big answer for very of questions.
