The Microsoft Help Workshop compiler works just great.  It's basically used by creating RTF files, with each help topic on its own page (a 'hard-page' made by Ctrl+Enter -- the compiler ignores/doesn't know about the 'soft-page' variety).

I like using the HCW package so much that I've created a template in WordPerfect (I'm still not finished creating the PerfectScript macros, but they're coming along).  While I'm still developing, I go ahead and save in the regular *.wpd format, then when ready to compile and test the helpfile, I just "Save As..." to RTF-Help format. (*)

* Please note, however, that WordPerfect (or at least ver7, what I use) crashes trying to read those files saved as RTF-Help back into itself.  So I just use the *.wpd as the "working copy".
