Bug #: 29579
           Summary: winhelp: winhlp32.exe doesn't support making its
                    window non-resizeable or without menu strip
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.36
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://download.microsoft.com/download/aoe/Trial/1.0/W
                    IN98/EN-US/MSAoE.exe
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: markk@clara.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified
In Windows, help files can cause the winhlp32 window to open with fixed
(non-resizeable) dimensions, and/or with no menu strip. Wine winhlp32 does not
support that feature.
For example, download the Age of Empires trial version from
  http://www.microsoft.com/games/empires/downloads.htm
direct download URL is
  http://download.microsoft.com/download/aoe/Trial/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/MSAoE.exe
Either run MSAoE.exe to install the demo, or use cabextract to unpack the files
inside.
Run winhlp32.exe from Windows under Wine and load Empires.hlp. Notice the
window has no menu strip and cannot be resized. (I tested winhlp32.exe from
Windows 98 and XP.)
Run Wine winhlp32.exe and load Empires.hlp. (The window contents are completely
messed up and unusable, but that's not what this bug covers.) Notice the
winhlp32 window is resizeable and has a menu strip.
