    You might be able to use the ancient MS CHM Workshop software to import the .hlp to create a CHM (that you could use to reverse-engineer a RH project out of ultimately)

    Absolutely no chance using 2020. Classic versions have an import function but whether or not it still works is another matter. Beyond that Google it. It brings up plenty of results but whether they work is another matter.

     

    You really have a winhelp file with useful content? 🙂

    Hi Peter, yes I have some medieval .hlp files, which have to be converted.. 

    No chance for version 2020 ? That is disappointing... 

    However thanks for your clarification!
