i kinda thought this would be the case with all the reading i've been doing on everything related to the help laz/fpc system(s)... and since i /still/ run OS/2 Warp 3 Connect on my main front line system, this type of stuff can be very important... especially if i develop an app on win32 and also need to compile the code on OS2 where it is intended to be anyway...
They are much more optimised for size and speed - compared to CHM (which is basically just a zip file of HTML pages).
actually, i do remember this difference being brought up years ago when M$ "took their toys and stomped off home"... size is also a major factor in much of what i deal with... even moreso since much of it deals with older hardware with /maybe/ 256Meg of RAM... lucky to see 512Meg...
