I've tried the help decompiler on the indows 32-bit API help file and it just 
produces an RTF file that's unreadable by both AbiWord and OpenOffice.  I've tried 
processing the help decompiler's output with Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop, in an 
attempt to convert the .hlp file to a .chm file, but that failed too.  I've tried 
Herdsoft's Help to RTF, but it fails to compile on amd64.  I've tried ABC Amber HLP 
Converter but it crashes when trying to read such a large help file.  Unfortunately, 
there aren't too many other options for converting .hlp files, and they've all 
failed to work with this large file.  And there are virtually no other options for 
directly viewing .hlp files, so at this point winhelp.exe is really my only hope.

And I agree, winhelp should be a lot faster, and have indexing and search 
capabilities to be useful for anything but tiny help files.
