WinHlp32.exe)
However, they do still distribute it http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 ,
albeit with some fairly scary warnings.
There is an alternative viewer: Help Explorer Viewer
winhlp32.exe is a viewer for WinHelp (.hlp) files, which format was
supplanted by MS HTML Help (.chm) years ago. We're talking about
Microsoft Help Container (.mshc).

I haven’t kept up with this thread; has anyone mentioned Flare Help Viewer? It

Fei Min,
Yes, both Omnihelp and OracleHelp for Java are very fast and very flexible.

There's no free runtime help viewer? That would explain why no one

RoboHelp, Flare, and WebWorks ePublisher all have their own

If you've already got MIF2Go generating EclipseHelp, how your docs are
structured is of no concern. Adding a second or third output format in MIF2Go
