There also incidentally sems to be a problem with F1 on component help ( try
highlighting a component and hit F1 ) . This file is the d7vcl.hlp file, but
it appears to be truncated in the application install expansion, and again
appears to be a fault. The file is available if you download the trial
architect version and plug in the file thus found ( 26 Mb ) , but the
application download is 170 odd Mb and cant be done with slow download
rates. I am looking for a prog which will help me get over my ISP's 2 hr
download cut off right now, but it would be handy if somebody who has it
(d7vcl.hlp) put it on Kazaa for instance.
