The file should be downloaded from the link. To open right click the downloaded file and in Properties tick the Unblock box to see the text.
At the moment the file includes both the English (as far as it has reached) and the full Russian text. This is for my convenience. The final conversion will include the English version only.
To date I have converted all sections except for the following:
Printer
Process
SysTray
Toolbar
UTF_ASCII_ENCODING
Window
Shouldn't be long now before it is complete!
I have used Bing Translate and Google Translate to convert and I'm using HelpNDoc to edit and compile the ranslated help file. If anyone finds any glaring errors, please let me know so I can edit.
The work I am doing is merely time consuming and I would have done it for myself. All credit must go to Vanya for the mammoth job he has done in producing the help file.

It is a very large document and I have used Google Translate and Bing Microsoft Translator for the translation, so I apologise in advance if some translation seems a little strange. I am sure that some mistakes will have been made and would ask users if they do find something to please post the error and I'll be happy make appropriate corrections and recompile the help file.

Hi Ray,
I can see the listings on the left (Content, info about the developers, 2D_Draw etc) but no luck on the right side, it remains white. This is on Win7-64, and normally all my *.chm files look ok.

As Mr Swiss advises, you need to right click the file > Properties > tick Unblock > click Apply > click OK. When you open the file you'll see all of the text.
DeepL: no I've never heard of it, but I've now bookmarked it and will give it a try. Thank you.

In over 20 years as a Windows user, I've never seen this - weird, a file that is partially blocked. Windows also warned me that the file could damage my puter bla bla, and that warning disappeared after it was unblocked. See also https://superuser.com/questions/503812/ ... is-missing about alternate data streams.

It's often a tick better than Google, but Russian was added only recently - no idea how well it translates RU-EN.

It happens every time that you download a .chm file from the web. Best way to avoid it is to upload the .chm file zipped.
Introduced by XPsp2. Unlocking can also be done using own software, by truncating the alternate stream. I work with CHMs a lot (FPC documentation), and regularly use it.
Another workaround is to find some tool like wget and use that to download files. Most major browsers follow the rule that "executable" files from outside the system must be marked blocked, specially if the support for them is built-in. But smaller tools and own downloaders that directly do HTTP (and don't use wininet apis) usually don't.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I've always used the unblock method, but I think the best way will be to use a zip file. I have taken the opportunity to also include all of the code in the help file. The link is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6aaaxj2xila0 ... p.zip?dl=0.
I hope this makes it easier for interested users to download the helpfile. I think the code will be useful too.
Ray
