The FAQ describes RSXNTDJ version that is available from SimTel now. When the new release is out, the FAQ will be updated. > 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.
