Interested In Phix Documentation?
FWIW... If you build Phix documentation yourself, using Pete's instructions above, you end up with 2 "extra" chm files not included with normal binary downloads. They are in folders
cd-5.9_Docs/ iup-3.16_Docs/
I don't know yet if they contain info not normally included or not. At first glance the chm in iup-3.16_Docs/ seems like it might include all of the "regular" Phix documentation, perhaps additional? Not sure.
cd-5.9_Docs/ seems void of all info. Probably excluded for good reasons.
Moving on...
Ah, just a bit of cruft I should probably delete from the Phix repository. I downloaded them many moons ago for personal searching purposes, it seems I did actually try and build them once for reasons lost in time, probably just learning how to build and otherwise experiment with chm files. The online official IUP/CD docs ( https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup ) would be better and much more up-to-date (they are now at versions 5.14/3.32) but the (now somewhat dated, and in fact rapidly heading in the direction of the "deprecated" folder, fear not, with a pretty straightforward path to their replacements) entries in phix.chm (eg IupSetAttribute ) more precisely match what is actually available in Phix.
