Hi, Dan :-)

For now, no one knows whether the download will be redistributable, or
even how the installation of a WinHelp-reliant app will work under
Vista.

The latest announcement is that the WinHelp download is not
redistributable. (As you've noticed, this could change ;-) )

And here's the thing about "old technologies": Even when they continue
to work, they just don't bring in cash for the mother company. (Hello,
Notepad.) This is as opposed to "technological advancements," which
*always* bring in the cash. (Hello, Office 2007.)

Just an FYI...the Help technologies were never income generators for
Microsoft, at least not directly. The tools were distributed for free.
