MS HTML Help creator places all .html files in only one
directory. For example the documentation of
D7/Internet contains about 27,000 files. Please
consider using subdirectories.

    Well, I was about to say, that it isn't needed, because it
    will be compiled into one big file, and the HTML generator
    has less files. But then I thought I can run a test on my
    own, ... and, after 15708 files I got the strange (and
    undocumented?) I/O-Error 82. Google tells me, it means "The
    directory or file cannot be created."

    So it seems it is a real error and not just a "feature", to
    generate everything into one single directory (ok, who still
    uses FAT32 besides me?).
    Have to think about it, how to split it up.

    The new release is out. Every file gets its own
    sub-directory if set via option.

    Expanded the option to allow also sub-sub-directories for
    record-like types in the files. Now the documentation for
    Delphi 7 (at least for the files I have) can be generated.
    Sadly it can't be compiled to a chm-file, the compiler
    chrashes. The documentation on Delphi 4 can be compiled, so
    I guess, it's just too big.
    I going to close this tracker if there are no objections.
