Steve and Christa:
Netscape does plan to adandon NetHelp and support HTML Help. But this
is in the future (the *near* future where *near* can be anywhere from
6-12-18+ months).
Since HTML Help is proprietary to Microsoft, I guess some licensing
arrangement would have to be made between Billy Boy and Netscape (very
much the way that Microsoft Help Workshop and HTML Help Workshop are
licensed by Blue Sky Software and ForeFront for developing WinHelp and
HTML Help systems).
Also, if you get a chance, check out the Netscape web site for breaking
news about this.
