wine users - Sep 2001 - whats the status on winhlp32?

I am just starting to look into the help side of our application and wanted
to check on the status, especially with regard to the following:

1. We have to use the Microsoft winhlp32.exe; there isn't a Wine version?
2. It requires the native comdlg32.dll and/or comclt32.dll to get the Index
button to do anything
3. Even then, that will only bring up the index itself, not the contents
nor the search tab.
4. There seems to be some problems with drawings within help files.

Can anyone correct me on any of these?

No.
Huw explained on wine-devel that the Wine winhlp is
only able to read Win16 help files.
(Btw, I don't think it is a good idea to distribute any
Ms software with a Winelib app...)

The only commercial app I know using Wine was
replacing hlp files with html ones (there are tools
to this kind of conversion I believe) and used
Netscape to display them (IIRC)
