Hi Droopy,

Thanks for sharing

but unfortuantely I can't test your PBFastLib because it assigns the wrong paths to PB and Tailbite and one can't set/correct it manually.
As your program already uses an ini-file couldn't you apply these two settings in there as well?

Still I found something going wrong with your Sample.chm.
While opening it I get 3 error messages [XP SP1]:

HTML Help Author Message wrote:The file mk:@MSITStore:D:\....\Sample.chm::/Sample.hhc contains an invalid HTML tag.

I found out that it concerns the three directories (Tips/Functions/Time_Measuring) which are (also) miss-leveled in the Sample.hhc. They are sub-leveled with <ul>... although they are toplevel entries. Only their contents needs to be separately subleveled. The complete index is only enclosed by one single <ul></ul> pair but not each item.

To give you a qick access to the difference I'll post the original and corrected HHCs right here until you grabbed them:

About the MsHelpCompiler.zip - are you sure these 4 files are enough to substitute the installation of MS HTML Help Workshop ? Besides these DLLs are not in WIN\System but in WIN\System32 on my OS.
