My recommendation is to use some type of HTML-based help for 
any new projects, and begin migrating any WinHelp projects you 
have as time allows (or, as you start into a major edit of each 
project).

I have not looked at RoboHelp's WinHelp to HTMLHelp conversion 
(it's on my ever-increasing To Do list :)  but both Doc-to-Help and 
Help & Manual do a good job (D2H is my personal preference and is 
what we have implemented in-house).

Dana W.
