Andy,

I don't know about help and stuff. Possibly you e-mail Jason. One
comment, however - such a huge library (any lib/app) only has one real
documentation - the source! This is about the only thing Bill Gates is
quoted on that I fully agree with. I switched from C++ to Pascal just
because I wanted to use IBO. I have written similar stuff from scratch
(back in the days) and I knew from gut-feeling and experience that it
would'nt be possible for me to use stuff like this without being able
to debug trace into the lib. That's my 50 cents, anyway.

OK - I'll probably get some beating from happy IBO users w/o source :)
