The current version of the faq is not entirely up to date. Please, if 
any of the following is incorrect, feel free to correct me.

First, a new version of RSXNTDJ is coming out, which is supposed to 
support DLL creation.  It should be available by April, according to 
the author. RSXNT, the standalone package, is already available in 
this version, AFAIK.

Second, no one has bothered to create a free winhelp compiler, 
apparently the capable people are too busy with other projects. 
However, this would be an excellent donation  Legality is an issue - 
you can find HC505 (win3.1) or HCW (win32), but it probably isn't 
legal for you to use it unless you have paid the hundreds of dollars 
to purchase a commercial package. (another good reason to put a 
COMPLETE win32 package together that is free.)

I am not aware of how extensive the RSXNTXX support is for the 
windows API.  That is something the author would have to answer, 
possibly it is answered in the documentation for RSXNT.

Take care.
