Progress towards release

- Created a DocLauncher application with no GUI, which wraps the mdhHelp functions and can be used to launch tutorials and help files from shortcuts.
- Documented the above.
- Tested and tweaked it.
- Incorporated it into the Transformer installer, and tested the results works well.
- Posted it on the Source Website.
- Rewrote the IMT installer to include the DocLauncher and related functionality/icon creation.
- Updated all the licence docs etc. for the installer.
- Created an icon for the installer archive.
- Built the installer.
- Did a test install on a couple of machines. Contextual Help (F1) wasn't working in dlgAnnCat.
- Went back to Delphi and discovered the HelpContext had been deleted. Added it back in, and checked it for other windows.
- Rebuilt and tested the app.
- Figured out that the Tutorial launching code from within the app wasn't using mdhHelp functions. Rewrote it, rebuilt the app, rebuilt the installer, and tested on my VM where IE is the default browser. Opens in FF, but strangely: nothing is displayed. This needs more investigation. Only seems to show up on the VM, though; other XP machines were OK.
- Added a bit of code to make an example file available on the Recent Files menu if it's the first run of the app.
- Rebuilt installer and distro again.
- Found a Nuvola icon suitable for "Close File".
- Built the BMPs from it.
- Added a Close File action and menu item.
- Tested the app again.
