"Not sure what you mean about my site being a good example of decompiling code."

My bad I didn't mean you. I meant to say http://helpdesk.kixtart.org/ has decompiled the kixtart411.CHM and posted it online to his site (and without giving appropriate credit to ScriptLogic unfortunately)

Lonkero: I'm just offering a suggestion to save you time.

What I'm trying to say is that it is fine to have 10 KiXtart-focused sites with published HTML help pages, but it is foolish for 10+ people to maintain their own html source files. Why not simply repost & share what has already been done? Yes, use someone else's work -- just get permission first and give appropriate credit to the author(s), and maybe even improve it.

ScriptLogic already did it [and with all bias] I can say that they did a damn good job -- they even improved on the original (you have to admit that those 'see also' hyperlinks help tremendously)!

http://www.scriptlogic.com/kixtart/htmlhelp/Reference/!keyword-index.htm

Just my two cents, but the advice (opinion?) is offered becuase I know how valuable time is -- mine, yours, everyone's...

-Brian

PS - Lligfeta: you can do full text searches in the compiled (CHM) version today -- always could. Are you looking for something in addition to that?

• people shouldn't steal other's work. it is nearly impossible to create the same
  structure with specific Scriptlogic input.
  At this moment "helpdesk.kixtart.org" is supporting the KiXtart 4.12 documenta-
  tion. The strange thing in this case is: the outside looks nearly the same, but
  both versions aren't the same at all. It looks like a new compilation has made
  without a clear message on it.
  Each programmer is using his own way of writting. It will never be the same.
• we love the effort of your organization supporting also the none-commercial
  part of kixtart community. We don't think about the creation of own CHM help file,
  because your version is very easy to use and it is always very accurate. Also the
  elements you have add are great.
  It is much easier for to verify on regular base "are the URL still working". In
  some situations you are very glad that people are mirroring those great things.
  We are glad to be one of them.
  For most of kixtart users it is enough to add those great URls to their favorites.
  An own homepage isn't necessry for that.
  
  Your new link KiXtart 4.12 keyword index we loves also.
  During some redesigns of our site we like to add this URL link to it.
• we agree with you "simply try asking for what ... omeone that already did it.".
  Most of the people implement good feedback. No feedback, no implementation of your
  needs.
• about Lastly, I'm not sure I understand your last statement about the kixtart
  forum @ scriptlogic.com. Are you saying that it is not as busy as this board, there-
  fore should be discontinued? Remember: ScriptLogic's site was the first to introduce
  the Beta and Wish List (Suggestions) forums for KiXtart. That ideas was promptly co-
  pied here. A lot of good ideas and helpful work come out of ScriptLogic (obviously
  good work, since so much of it is copied). I think that the more they contribute to
  the KiXtart community the better!
  
  It will be a big lack when Scriptlogic doesn't support kixtart as it did and does.
  - Always you are the first to publish a new distribution.
  - Always you are the first we create a very handy help file.
  - Always shows the latest and historical news about kixtart developments.
  - At lot of nice UDFs on your site are implemented already in the kixtart product.
  - In our opinion "kixtart" forum doesn't want to be a replacement for "kixtart.org" forums. Most
  of feedback to this forum is related also to the other Scriptlogic forums.
  
  On the planet "kixtart.org" and "scriptlogic" aren't the only forums which handles
  about kixtart, but it aren't only the most popular ones but also it are the
  most accurate ones. See for yourself on the WWW.
  Most feedback from Ruud goes directly back to Scriptlogic and this board.
  The feedback about possible problems with new releases we see is nearly a fraction.
  In a very early state Scriptlogic has already reporting significant problems
  with it.

  Thanx guys,
  MCA: I started KiXtart HelpDesk as a spare-time project.
  The goal is to promote the KiXtart language and to offer sample scripts.
  The users would be anyone interested in KiXtart.
  The reason why it is located at kixtart.org is that Henri offered space on his server.
  
  Shawn:
  Glad I could help!
  Cross-postings would be nice! I don't have that many to offer though...
  I am really interested in sample scripts. New-commers likes cut-and-paste, right??
  
  /Brian
  
  Btw: I'll fix the links ASAP. Also working on a html-version of the 2001 manual.

• Off Topic: KiXtart Help Desk (24.6.2002)

• In the past we were saving the relevant CHM files from Scriptlogic. At the moment
  the site "helpdesk.kixtart.org"/"kixtart.org/helpdesk" doesn't exist. December
  2001 the "helpdesk.kixtart.org" was announcing his first HTML version of the 2001
  manual.
  Very specific and old mistypings in Scriptlogic releases - which we doesn't find
  in Ruud's document - we find back in the files on the "helpdesk.kixtart.org" site.
  Based on a very deep comparison it is for us clear, that one makes a copy of an
  existing version. Based on above information it should be clear who makes the
  copy.
  Missing Abs doesn't means someone doesn't make copies of it, but mostly
  it means he couldn't make copies of it. Mostly the URL had been changed and the
  new URL wasn't published.
  
  We think that everybody has the rights to make clear what is going on. Mostly it
  can be necessary to use clear talking.
• We agree with you that people doesn't edit original post. Except of course URL
  link mistypings.
• About our reference. You have ask Henri it too, but the benefits for making our
  suggestions public are: people aren't doing the same work again.
