thanks a bunch!

this one seems to be self-sufficient, i.e. does not need internet access, no script errors so far.

i love the chm help especially for when traveling w/ slow or w/o internet access!

the changelog page does load very slowly though (and my computer is not the weakest one...), some other pages are a bit sluggish too. earlier chm helps were very responsive. i guess it is the (increased) use of javascript on the dlang website. do we really need so much of it? and does it all have to go in the chm file? i would not mind a more austere appearance for a simple offline help. but this is probably easier said than done.


cheers,

det
