Description
Repeat-by: add "deb http://build.openmodelica.org/apt release contrib" to /etc/apt/sources.list on wheezy and then "apt-get install openmodelica", and open OMShell, which explains you can type help() for help.
help()
"No such file"
ERROR: Error opening file: /usr/share/doc/omc/omc_helptext.txt.
Fix-by: $ sudo gunzip -v /usr/share/doc/omc/omc_helptext.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/omc/omc_helptext.txt.gz: 64.8% -- replaced with /usr/share/doc/omc/omc_helptext.txt
and then help() works fine. Just a minor packaging detail to be tidied up.

This is fixed for any new build. The cutoff point for apt to compress a txt-file was 4kB. So when I updated the file due to some changes made to omc... It grew from 3.8 to 4.2kB... Weird noone noticed this for a few months :)
It is fixed for any new builds made (so ~21 hours from now for nightly; for stable as soon as the testsuite works fully again; next release by Christmas I am guessing).
