Jerzy,

I saw that you have begun to add HTMLHelp support to WinCvs as well as a 
dummy(?) help project. Just so we do not duplicate efforts, I'm not sure 
if you might have missed from discussion on the CVSGUI list that I have 
recently started to write a new help file from scratch. The document is 
still in a very early stage but I'm still confident that I could 
eventually complete it. My plan so far was to first finish description 
of the command dialogs and related UI elements before I published what I 
have. My current estimate is that I could reach that point in about one 
or two months.

Time is really limited for me at the moment as we're moving out and have 
to clear the old flat by the end of the week. In the same context I also 
haven't been able to do any work worth of note on the help file for the 
last two weeks or so.

Anyway, if you approve of the direction I've already started to take 
I'll gladly transfer what I have to the CVSGUI repository right now. 
Some time ago I uploaded a snapshot of what I had to my site. It's still 
there: 

Browsable online: http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/WinCvsHelp/

CHM download: http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/WinCvsHelp/WinCvs.chm

That snapshot is however a bit out of date already. I'll try to upload 
the current state of affairs tonight. Currently the only real content is 
in the "Commands" and "Preferences" chapters of the "The WinCvs User 
Interface" section (nowhere near complete - the Annotate or Branch 
topics are about as good as it gets in that version of the document, by 
now I have added a few more commands and Glossary entries and fixed some 
texts).

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Oliver
