Hi Andy,

nice to hear that you are working on improving HTMLHELP.

If you ask me, it would be great to keep a working HTML
based help viewer around. The format has the advantage
that people already know HTML and can contribute content
and translations easily. AMB converted versions are nice
to have as well, of course, but the orginal version is
good and convenient for http://help.fdos.org/ and simple
to read from your Windows or Linux on another disk or PC.

I have not compared the features of both tools, so if you
say AMB preserves all style and user interface possibilities
and is easy to maintain and convert to from HTML, it may
be an option to drop the DOS HTML viewer if that is too
hard to port to OpenWatcom. But it certainly is good to
have the content itself available in HTML format.

Regards, Eric
