Small typo in masmlib.hlp

The section about GetCL states in both description and example as the name of the function being "GetCl", whereas "GetCL" is correct.

Also, it would be better to use CHM files instead of the obsolete HLP format (this applies to all help files in help/).

Ghirai-

The latest masm32v10r have all the help files in chm format.

It been converted to light gray on a dark gray background with a red blaze down the left side.

I found this very hard to use, so converted to standard black on white and combined the whole thing into one help file for myself.

PM me with an email address if you want a copy.

Sorry, you're right. I had v9 on this particular windows installation :(
However, the example and description still reads "GetCl", while the proto is "GetCL".

With the obsolete HLP format, my IDE manages to understand that when I select GetCL and click on "Help library", I want to see the page in masm32.hlp that deals with GetCL. To implement this, all you need is this line:

invoke WinHelp, hWnd, esi, HELP_PARTIALKEY, edi

where esi=path to masmlib.hlp and edi=GetCL.

As somebody with an almost religious belief in technological progress I would be more than grateful if you could post the code that performs the same function with the modern super-advanced CHM format.

I'm not a CHM advocate and i personally think that both formats suck (PDF ftw).
Regarding your question - i have no clue really :bg
