Windows Help Files

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

Each of the 3 zipped archive contains:

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.

Help File Description Font Size (Kb)
lang.hlp Language Reference Bitmap TrueType 448
gui.hlp Windows Interface (GUI) Bitmap TrueType 902
relnotes.hlp Release Notes Bitmap TrueType 77
