So why the push to convert to something flawed and static? If you're
going to invest in a major Help system conversion, why not upgrade
to...?

Don't think of it as a "push to HTML Help"...think of it as "get away
from WinHelp". Once Microsoft deprecated WinHelp and held Vista Help
back, the only Windows Help format that they could suggest is HTML
Help.

As always, folks can use any Help format for their output, many of
which will work locally on Windows.
