New option in Delphi Help Expert to open in web browser
Prompted by a suggestion from Peter Aschbacher I just added a new feature to my Delphi Help Expert: You can now force it to use the default web browser instead of the Welcome Page for web URLS.

You can now follow me on Diaspora
Edit: I have deleted this account. Too many strange "discussions" there. I already have Twitter for that. I created an account on Pluspora (I'm dz@pluspora.com *1).

TDbf packages for Delphi 10.3 Rio
TDbf is an open source library to access Dbase tables. It's released under the LGPL license (which makes in impractical for most commercial Delphi development).
