I tried with winecfg - Windows-Version set to
-windows98
-windowsXP
-windows7

all with the same result.

please mail me the offending .hlp file so that I can have a look at it
(BTW did you check that display the .hlp file in native winhlp32.exe did show
correct results ?)
FYI, the tables are still badly rendered in winhlp, so don't hold your breath
on this one. however, the uncompress3 overflow errors have to be fixed

Take this one from the page of the lcc-compiler:

Windows API documentation
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/win32hlp.exe

This is a setup-program which copy the compressed hlp-file to a folder you will
have to choose.
I tried with other hlp-files, but they also failed.

I was searching for something in the 'Win32-API doc' and so I did discover this
bug. Now I use a converted version which is in the CHM-format with
'kchmviewer'.

Or this one:

As far as I can remember my original file was from a CD (?) inside the book:

Looks fine for me in wine-1.3.32-204-g49cade4b. Can you name one of the topics
that renders poorly?

I don't see any evidence this is a regression (no listed good version, no
regression test). If it really is a regression, please run the regression test:

in reply to comment #7. The bug report is fine, I can reproduce it here (using
.hlp file from #6)
I've just sent a fix for this case.
didn't browse all the contents, but the first 10 pages look ok now (with the
patch)
