I can't understand this. I've just downloaded the zip file myself, and

That's on Vista.

Maybe Brian has some ideas?

Best wishes,
Tim.

... Thanks for the tip, John, but I don't think this bit of it is true. The .chm format is the new format, itself superseding .hlp. The problem is that, as so...
