Rudy, I have a program that can extract help file contents. I can then send the contents to you as html. What is the help file you are trying to examine? I'll give it a try. I am dual-booting lin-win. You can email the help file to gjs@4nts.net. Or if it is a fairly common program, tell me the name of the program and particular help file. I'll see if I have it already.

Vener Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 9:44 AM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: reading windows help files on linux I have a windows .hlp file which I need to examine. Needless to say I don't run windows. Also my searches have not turned up any useful filtering or conversion tools although there were a few promising leads which eventually came to dead ends. The .hlp format seems to be a particularly obnoxious compiled format which is not susceptible to the same brute force control character stripping which works so well with Word. Does anyone have an application which can convert the .hlp to any other format? Thank you, Rudy _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
