Here's an addendum to this post:

Yes, HTML Help workshop converts old help pages to .htm files and they 
are viewable in a web browser and will compile into a .chm file.  But 
they don't look anything like the original help pages, and quite a bit 
of work has to be done on them before they are presentable, whether you 
use ICustomHelpViewer or not.
