Hi Sam,

Your successful build should include a documentor.exe under sdk\obj\win32\bin, which should have been installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\ECERE SDK\bin

Under C:\program files (x86)\Ecere SDK\doc, you should have:
ecere.eCdoc, ecereCOM.eCdoc and EDA.eCdoc
These files are the API documentation data for Ecere.
That is in addition to the Tao (Ecere Tao of Programming [work in progress].pdf), which provides a basic introduction to the eC programming language fundamentals...

Documentor should pick that info up when you launch it (You just need to execute that documentor.exe, you should also see it under the "Help" menu of the IDE, as "API Reference - F1")

The documentation in there still requires a lot of attention, some of it I didn't write myself and needs to be reviewed, a lot needs to be completed, but at least it lists the latest up to date entire API and you can browse through it.

Please let me know if you're still having trouble bringing up Documentor.

Regards,

Jerome
