On the manual page there is missing the windows help file for postgreSQL 9.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/

Is it possible to add this?

I'm guessing he means like they have for f.ex PHP:

http://www.php.net/download-docs.php

The .chm HTML Help files

We do? Huh. Anyone know who produced the .chm?

Seems we don't have Windows help/.chm files for PG 9.0. I see them for
8.3 and 8.4:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/

Also, one of our users has created one for 9.0.2:

http://char-docs.googlecode.com/files/PostgreSQL-9.0.2.chm

Should we add a link to this and get it on our release checlist?

Uh. The first question is why we stopped providing them for 9.0. Does
anybody know? Dave, I think you used to make them?

They used to be built for pgInstaller, but the one-clicks use HTML.

Missed this thread. I wrote a post
http://pgolub.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/chm-help-for-postgresql-9-0/
with poll "Do you need CHM manual for PostgreSQL?"

The results are:

Yeah, sure! 71.88% (23 votes)
No, thanks. 15.63% (5 votes)
May be... 12.5% (4 votes)

Total Votes: 32

I suppose having CHM manual is important.
