The help system under winNT and 2k(and 98) both use this type of file and is
the successor to the .hlp files windoze used to use. So.. there is a viewer
available for windows. 

What i'm chasing is either something to decompress/uncompile the files so i
can then use them on other systems or a viewer to be able to navigate
directly under linux. There are a couple of good documentation archives
which use this format, from which i'd like to gut entire sections.

Thanks

Carl
