That's about where I am, too.
I plan to move to HTML Help (tm) in six months to a year, maybe a little more, when the software is ready and the advantages outweigh the hassle of changing. Same as two years ago. I have a vague suspicion that in 2001 I'll still be planning to move to HTML Help (tm) in six months to a year...
Meanwhile, I'm keeping up on reading about it, and playing with it so I'll know what I'm doing when the time is ripe.
For separate documentation, I've moved quite a bit to plain HTML (not-tm).
