Help Files

You can download the Windows help files for Dyalog Version 10 here.

Each of the 3 zipped archive contains:

	the Windows Help File (.HLP)
	the contents file (.CNT)
	the requisite font

There are two versions of each help file. One uses a bitmap font, the other a TrueType font. If you want both versions of the help files, you should download them into separate directories because the .hlp file names are the same.

Unless you plan to print the help topics, the Bitmap font versions are recommended.

Release Notes For Previous Versions

These are Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 help files that describe the new features in most recent versions of Dyalog for Windows. These Files are compressed in pkzip format. You need the Dyalog Std bitmap font or Dyalog Std TT fonts to view these help files.

Note that because the "Bitmap" help files employ a bitmap font, you cannot print the symbols in these help pages. If you want to print the help pages, you should choose the TrueType version of the help file.
