It seems there is no freeware to do it.
Unless the Microsoft tool is in its free release of Visual Studio 2005.
See Wikipedia for some informations and links to payware tools.
Or choose another format, like PDF. Less convenient, I think. The latest Adobe Acrobats are really slooow to load.

I usually use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop. It's not too bad once you get used to it. Shalom Help Maker is really good if you like the .hlp format Smile .

Chris uses Microsoft HTML Help Workshop (at least some months ago).

Aah, so the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is freely available. That's good to know. I thought it was only available within Visual Studio.
The Vizacc tool seems interesting to check too.
Thanks for these links.
