Does anyone have a .chm file for help with programmatic access to
SourceSafe 6.0? It would be helpful so that i could learn why
VSSItem.IsCheckedOut is a long that can take several values rather than
a boolean, etc. For that particular example, I've found the answer on
the web, but a help file integrated with VB would be ideal. Any help
would be appreciated.

Not sure about a separate VSS help file (besides using the MSDN library,
which seems to contain what you need), but have you read this article?

Yes, i have read that article... it got me started working with VSS
programmatically. However, while it may contain all information i may
possibly need, it is not nearly as on-demand as a .chm. I'd like to
just hit F1 in the object browser and see what the selected
object/method/property's purpose is.
