Nice docs anyone?!
Normally, when you acquire a new version of a software product, you'll never insert the old cds into your drive ever again. However, D8 and all later versions had a wonderful new feature: less documentation - sorry for the sarcasm.
So, everybody got those nice D7 CDs out and opened those help files for VCL documentation. Today I even found a wizard on the net that makes it possible to use the old documentation files by default on CodeCentral: http://cc.borland.com/item.aspx?id=23948
Thanks go to community member Thomas Müller for that one!
I have not tried it myself yet, but I sure will get those old D7 CDs out of the cellar now ;)

Hi Holger,
do you remember documentation and _printed_ manuals that came with Delphi until D3(starting with D4 IIRC they got less and less and even worse)?
I miss these days when dev tools were delivered with printed manuals that were detailed and complete!

Levend, I remember those days too and I mus say that I prefer a printed documentation too. By that I do not just mean a print of the help files...
