I'm afraid we're using the online help now for a number of reasons:

- The additional help files are *really* tricky to merge properly and 
take significant amounts of time to do.

- They account for a large percentage of the size of the application.

- Because they are so large, there was no way we could have conveivably 
localised the docs.

- Because we now have *full* support for EnterpriseDB, and might add 
other derivatives such as Bizgres MPP in the future, we would need to 
ship docs for them as well, compounding the previous problems.

- We always shipped the latest docs with pgAdmin - many people aren't 
actually using the latest version of PostgreSQL (or Slony) though, so 
those docs are not the right ones for them.

So I'm afraid we won't be shipping the docs from the other projects in 
the future - though all the old menu options should still work, just 
with online versions of the docs.
