I want add context help to DWED and looking for a free content about programming languages and OS.

What can i do:

1. Convert and adopt (to TP) FreePascal help for a few units (System and may be Dos, Crt) - question: is it allowed by license?
2. Convert this one book about i8086 assembler. (but this book don't impress me)
3. Try check, what can be extracted from archives about SPHINX C--
4. Prepare help about i8080 assembler
5. Write small help about CP/M API. (i think it is not urgent task, but DOS have CP/M compatible API)

So, need some external source of content, with open license (possible include it in soft).

What looking:

1. C language. Need description/texts about stdlib.h stdio.h string.h (hope it is enough)
2. Basic language. It is hard question - we have (minimum) 2 generation of this programming languge: line numbered (TinyBasic, MSX-Basic ... GW-Basic) and procedural (PowerBasic,QuickBasic ... FreeBasic/VisualBasic/SmallBasic), so will be nice to have support for various dialect.
3. Intel Assembler 8086 and great, TASM/MASM/NASM (etc) dialects.
4. Z80 Assembler (for me - the same as i8080 but have few extension)
5. 6502 Assembler
6. Amiga-family assembler (Motorola 680x0)
7. will be nice - modern ARM assembler
8. Any other programming languages (JavaScript etc).
9. ???

If somebody have ANY advises - WELCOME!
(I think, easiest case - C library description, but which one?)

Ambiguous task (with time) - try convert RBIL to my help file format.

Make DOS great again!
