    accessing the "TCHELP.TCH" file

    I am using a standard Turbo C compiler, and i want to access the "tchelp.tch" file without using(opening) the compiler.

    The "tchelp.tch" file is obviously not in a text format.

    Is there any posible way to convert this file in the text format?

    I searched on google for any possible results, but couldn't get any.

    Or if not is the full documentation of the "C/C++" help available on the internet?

    I would be very much obliged if anybody out there replies back to me.

    Pulling apart the .hlp file for an ancient compiler isn't going to tell you much.

    There are at least 3 levels to this:
    - the core language (make a choice, c/c++ is NOT a language). Documenting things like 'for', 'while' and 'struct'
    - the standard library, say printf() and strcat()
    - 3rd party libraries like say zlib, ncurses etc

    Not to mention specific documentation on how to use your specific compiler.

    What about

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
