I'm afraid it's not possible. Look here.
Anyway, I like this format, too.

Hello !
- Whether you use MS Help Workshop to build a CHM folder from the actual *.HLP file, you will get a pretty "dung" (:P no moderator around ?)
- Ch. Ghisler and I have experienced this years ago already.
- It's very bad : only <P> an <B> markers (tags) as text-formatting, and a mountain of HTML source-files (one per paragraph / topic), in the amount of 165 or close ! That didn't and doesn't the trick still…
- However, in order to get a document having mainly much more screen-shots than the classic *.HLP file, I rebuilt the HTML structure with a reasonable amount of files, a style-sheet, and a list-structure allowing easy updates / changes.
- It's also very flexible about the fonts sizes etc. for short-sighted readers, and customizable (the sources) up to a certain limit… I make the same for the English Help (with an improved structure) and the German one too.
- Hence, please, don't reinvent the warm water ! Using these English-sources, 50% of the job is made already… Just keep the files names (sub-dirs, pics, HTML and style-sheet files). All links (hundreds) will work. These sources are free and free of charge.

- The Author's statement you quote isn't very realistic, about a Help file…
I known it. In your Company, you can have i.e. Opera™ as browser for the Web by default, and IE > 4 as a local / LAN browser to read the CHM-helps; in first… the MS' ones in Windows !

Kind regards to all,
Claude

I didn't want to discuss if using .chm files is secure or not. Or is it realistic or not. I use it and I suppose that most users do it nowadays cause most newest help files comes just in this format.
I only wanted to show Christian's opinion on changing TC help format which he declared quite recently (only 4 months ago).

OK, I dont wish to launch a polemical… But please remind that CHM help-files exist since Win 95 (B version, I don't know for A-dung version…)

I will not convert the main TC help file to CHM because CHM requires an installed Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, I have no objections if other language versions use CHM.
