How can I extract the docs from the .sit file ?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/How can I extract the docs from the .sit file ?

| What the topic says. Perhaps it has been asked a gazillion times, but.. I have purchased BlitzMax, Mac version (shouldn't be BlitzMac then ?). Happens that I have no Mac... but I would like to get the docs and be prepared for the Windows release. So, I have the BlitzMaxSetup100.sit nice sit-ting on my BMAX directory. Is there any way to extract the language docs from it in a Windows compatible format ? Any help greatly appreciated. Sergio. |

| I've seen ExtractNow recommended, but have not tried it. |

| Try this, worked for me. (Also a windows user wanting a look at the docs!) www.stuffit.com Funky Frank |
| ||
| stuffit works fine for it. |

| Stuffit: 12.751 Mega. I can't install it because I'm not the admin of my machine: the InstallShield can't create the script file. ExtractNow: 1.2 Mega From the web site it says it can unpack .sit files too. It does not - an error message pops up, stating that the .sit extension is not supported. Sigh ! Thanks anyway, Sergio. |

| Thanks a load enidox ! Downloading now.. :) Sergio. |

| Yes, several pages are missing, however it's a good start. Now I can - at least - feel the BMAX soul flying around.. the Strict command alone (alias VB Option Explicit) it's soooo a nice feature..!! Well, I have to admit... I'm still in love with Blitz3D, but I'm really looking forward to the BMAX Windows version.. Sergio. |

| Thank you Daze, yes now the help file is much more complete - only the samples are missing, but nevermind. I've got really good material to study, thank you again, very appreciated m8 ! :) Sergio. |

| No problem. |
| ||
| I'm sorry, did somebody ask permission to redistribute our docs and samples??? |
| ||
| I did actually ask in my post if it was ok with BRL. Also, since the docs are available in the (freely available) demo, I assumed it wouldn't be a problem. Apologies Skid. |
