Visual Studio and Office as for as I know (but then I don't use Windows so don't quote me on this). Also, Microsoft loves to use VS and Office as a launch pad for new features and then later become standard in Windows. So I'm pretty sure MSHelp2 or 3 will be the next help format for Windows. > If there is a format problem, it is that it is an archive, just like ZIP is. > You can stuff anything in it, and if you can get the viewer to interpret it, > you can instrument it. You did note the simley face, right? But yes I agree, CHM is just some glorified archive. Anyway, what really annoys me is that now even Google's Gmail considers CHM an executable. (Maybe because of IE bugs and that JavaScript is allowed inside CHM content). You cannot attach a CHM in Gmail, just like you cannot attached a .EXE in Gmail. F**ken annoying!!! There are much better ways to curb viruses from spreading that limiting the user to what attachments they may or may not use in emails.
