How to Convert HLP to CHM for Vista What is HLP (WinHelp) file? WinHelp was the original online Help system for Microsoft Windows. Originally introduced with Windows 3.0, WinHelp was substantially enhanced with the release of Windows 95. All versions of Microsoft Windows continue to support online Help in WinHelp format, but Microsoft discontinued further development of WinHelp in 1997. To create WinHelp, authors create topic files in RTF format, typically using Microsoft Word or a Help authoring tool, and these topic files, together with a few project files, are compiled using Microsoft's WinHelp compiler. The compiler produces an HLP file and, optionally, a CNT file, which are distributed to users of the Help system. What is CHM (HTML Help)? CHM file is a new help format from Microsoft, known as HTML Help, is steadily gaining popularity among software developers. HTML Help is supported by all versions of Windows, so you can be sure that a WinHelp (.HLP) file, when distributed with your application, will function correctly for the end-user. To create HTML Help, authors create topic files in HTML format. The topic files, together with a few project files and ActiveX controls, are compiled using Microsoft's HTML Help compiler. The compiler produces a .chm file, which is then distributed to users of the Help system. Help authors can use a variety of tools to produce Microsoft HTML Help, including RoboHelp, Doc-To-Help, ForeHelp, HDK, and WebWorks Publisher.
