RE: Online Help in Windows: Old writer catching up

["Goldstein, Dan" <DGoldstein -at- DeusTech -dot- com>]

Windows XP, WinHelp still works just fine, both as a technology for
compiling help and as a technology for displaying help."

You also might want to ask Geoff how his subsequent transition to HTMLHelp
worked out.
