Re: wxT/Qt framework help book (was Fwd: Re: Last call ...)

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

[Sorry, that should have been patch #707 in the last post, i.e.,]

I've placed a patch for wxT HelpBook and Qt-Assistant on SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/patches/707

which should give anyone interested something to do on New Year's Day.

There are also a couple screenshots of the two help book windows after 
the gnuplot.htb file and the gnuplot.qch and gnuplot.qhc files are made 
and installed.
