I really think TFM and doxygen are targeted at slightly different audiences.

TFM seems to be for browsing and searching Apple's pre-existing documentation, while doxygen really shines when run on your own source.

There are two free products for easily browsing the Cocoa documentation:
AppKiDo - http://homepage.mac.com/aglee/downloads/
Cocoa Browser - http://homepage2.nifty.com/hoshi-takanori/cocoa-browser/

They don't offer all the features of TFM, but they're free.

interesting and only thirty-some bucks:

Anyone tried this?

Okay, here's my comment:

It does quite exactly what ProjectBuilder's Find window offers, but in a more convenient way. It mainly lets you browse headers from function lists or class hierarchie while minimizing demand for screen estate.

It currently only works for C and ObjC but not for C++, so it's of lesser use for Carbon API stuff like AudioUnits.

In my opinion, doxygen is a way more powerful tool. To get an impression what doxygen does, http://www.u-he.com/caugui/docs/ is _completely_ built with doxygen. All "additional" documentation is just a result from comments in the source code. (Note: AUPublic stuff isn't included here, but when you download the SDK there's also a doxygen config file that includes them)

Cheers,

;) Urs
