Hi,

Does anybody know of a replacement for the windows help executable
WINHELP.EXE?

I know that a company called Bristol makes a product that allows you 
to compile RTF files created for MS-Windows and run them on some UNIX
platforms.  (Bristol. . . (203) 438-6969, Connecticut, USA)

But, does anyone have a help compiler and viewer that will allow me to 
take my exisiting help source files and use them w/o MS's WINHELP?

I'd really like to get hold of a viewer product that would answer to the
standard WinHelp calls and would be cheap enough to license for
a shrink-wrapped product.

Anyone have any leads?  (Anyone want to start a company?)

Thx,

Gary
