- Hi,
-
- I'm trying to understand the format of the Windows .HLP
- file. Do any of you know if this format is documented ?
- Or has anyone ever tried to extract the text (at least
- some of it) from a .HLP file ?
-
- There are many formats, including the ones generated by
- hc30 and hc31, with various degrees of compression. I'd
- be happy if someone can tell me what information I should
- look for (and where) at least in an uncompressed .HLP file
- (created w/ hc30 or hc31 and COMPRESSION=NONE).
-
- Thank you.
