As Carbide is based on the same platform as Palm’s now-ancient PODS IDE, the old TamsPalm article stating that the help system is served up by a (miserable) HTML viewer applies to both IDE systems.

People who wish to pass a “deep link” to such a page have been out of luck so far, as the URL’s were dynamic and thus of little value to other users (or even to yourself). However, the folks at Nokia’s have now reacted by putting up a web server serving the whole Carbide help 24/7.

Unfortunately, the folks at Nokia’s limited their web server to the bare Carbide help – no help is offered for S60 or UIQ SDK’s. This limits the usability of the system by far – as Palm managed to include SDK help to the help system, I think that it’s only a question of time until Nokia’s team will stack up…

Anyways – the web page is right here (and seems to be hosted by a Carbide.c++ instance):
