What is the name of the file/program which opens RichView.hlp ?

Can a link to RichView Help be easily added to the Delphi 2010 IDE ?

Currently, TRichView help is available in
- (obsolete) WinHelp format: http://www.trichview.com/rvfiles/rvhelpfile.zip , can be integrated in Delphi 4-7,
- HTML help: http://www.trichview.com/rvfiles/rvchm.zip , can be opened in standard Windows help,
- PDF: http://www.trichview.com/rvfiles/rv_pdf_manual.zip , can be opened in Adobe Reader
- RTF: http://www.trichview.com/rvfiles/rv_rtf_manual.zip , can be opened in MS Word or any other RTF editor, including TRichView itself;
- online help: http://www.trichview.com/help/
Sorry, integration in D2010 help system is not possible yet.

I could not see anything on this page yet...

Nostradamus: Nice tip. Thanks.

or try this.
download help file (RichView.chm) and place it in folder outside 'Program Files' eg C:\Help
I have been unable to get it to work from Delphi 2010 IDE using Program Files in the file path.

http://www.trichview.com/rvfiles/rvchm.zip

Open Tools menu
GOTO
Configure Tools
click "Add" in Tool Options window
in the Tools Properties window type
Name : RichView CHM Help
Program: C:\Windows\HH.exe
Working Dir: (leave Blank)
Parameters: C:\Help\RichView.chm

Thanks for the tips.
I corrected links in my original answer (forum added comma to URLs)

I found I had to use
1-TRichView\Help\RichView.chm from rvHelp.zip

I found that the file at

http://www.trichview.com/rvfiles/rvchm.zip

does not work for some reason.

I just tried, this file is correct.
You can clear the browser cache and redownload it.
But it is not necessary, CHM files from rvchm.zip and rvhelp.zip are identical.

I tried redownloading that file

It never works for me ...

Can someone else please download this file, extract it, and left double-click it and see if the following error message appears...
" Web page unavailable offline

Check file sizes:
rvchm.zip - 1,386,501 byte
RichView.chm inside it - 1,431,552 bytes.
Also make sure that you did not place this file on a network path, and path to this file does not include # character.

Something is definitely strange about that file...at least on my computer.
Anyway the other file in rvhelp.zip works fine for me.

If anyone else has a problem with this file (rvchm.zip) please let us know..
