Old WinHelp (.HLP) as Input Format?
Could please add the old Microsoft WinHelp (.HLP) format as an input format for conversion? I see the current Microsoft Compiled HTML Help (.CHM) format is available as in input format.
I ask this because even though the old WinHelp format wasn't originally designed as an ebook format, it was used to create quite a number of ebooks which are now unreadable for the most part. Your consideration and assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. |

@rszekely - how about using these existing tools ?
TrishTech - How to Open .HLP WinHelp Files in Windows 10 HelpInfo - Converting WinHelp (HLP) to HTMLHelp (CHM) If all you want to do is read the books on a PC then try the Trishtech solution first, then you won't need to convert. Or use the HelpInfo HLP to CHM conversion process, then you can convert the CHM to whatever. BR |
