Joe Welinski released his Software User Assistance Tools & Technologies survey this week 
(check out www.writersua.com -- lots of other good info in the survey as well). I was surprised 
to see that 7% of the respondents still use some WinHelp. It also makes me happy because I 
have a soft spot in my heart for WinHelp and would hate to see it die :)  (though I've moved 
completely to CHMs).
