Hi,
Thanks for the reply. That seems to work, but I think there is a bug in the
FPC. When I do a {$linklib myfile.dylib} , it is not picking up the
myfile.dylib, the compiler is looking for libmyfile.so . I had to rename the
library from myfile.dylib to libmyfile.so .

IIRC it dates back to win98, and even works on win9

You just double click the chm. It's the standard Windows help system
in Windows XP+ (maybe older too).

What for {%encoding utf-8} in the first line?

When i started to build my projects for unicode, i expect it is like
{$h-} {$h+} when we moved from Turbo Pascal to Delphi.
BTW my agent ask me to make my project multi language and that solve
my problem, but for small projects already made for Ansi we need that
feature.
