I have a potential project where I am required to read and extract text from Windows compiled help (.HXS) files. Is the file format proprietary, or is the description of the file format available somewhere? Even better would be some public domain C code that would read these files. Any information or sources for information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
