Indeed, it seems that a lot of the help has disappeared, not only
regarding the iTools. Which is a serious problem. It seems that the
contents that used to be in several of the "guides" has disappeared.
If it is there, I could not find.

For instance, if I now search for DLM, all I find are the help pages
for dlm_load, dlm_register, and make_dll. In the old help, there used
to be a lot more, under

IDL Programmers' Guides > External Development Guide > Part III:
Techniques That Use IDL's Internal API

I also searched and browsed the new help, and could find nowhere the
description of the IDL_VARIABLE structure, which is in the 7.1 help. I
was particularly curious about that subject to find out how the
reference count got included into the pointers and objects while
keeping compatibility with the older versions.

I have the same question as Erik: Where did those go? How do we get
them back (and updated)?

It seems it is just a problem with the transition in the documentation
to the new format, since it is not specific to the iTools - and even
direct graphics are still around and present in the help.
