The original statement (from someone else) was "I can't install the 
Help Workshop on Win2000". To which I asked "Why"?

As I noted, I am using the Help Workshop on a Win2000 machine. 
It installed, and runs, just fine. Microsoft still ships the HLP 
engines with Win2000 -- winhelp.exe (16-bit) and winhlp32.exe (32-
bit).

Microsoft no longer intends to *support* WinHelp (i.e., they aren't 
going to make any changes to the Help Compiler or Help 
Workshop), but there are no issues with running HLPs or the 
compiler. In fact, Microsoft still ships quite a few HLP files with its 
Win2000 system.

I'm on the digest, so if my responses are out of sync from everyone 
elses by the time they hit the list, I apologize...
