RE: win32 help file

I beleive that links to a file on the Borland website.  I also beleive
Borland paid Microsoft a huge amount of money for re-distribution
rights of the Win API (and probably API doco).

Without reading the licensing terms of the help file I would assume it
is illegal to re-distribute the file (even if it is only a .hlp file)

It is however OK to link to a Borland or Microsoft web server that
hosts that file.
