Hi Phil,

I'm not sure if this will do any good but there is an HTML Help kit
available from the Helpware Group for C++ Builder (and for Delphi on the
same page) here:

http://www.helpware.net/downloads/index.htm#TheCBuilderHHKit

I haven't tried this so I can't say whether it will work in your
situation.

Good luck. This sounds like a task we are all going to be stuck with in
the future.
