    All the CHM files are just HTML files that are compiled together.

    At work we have an intern using RoboHelp. I don't know why. It is pretty expensive. I have used HTML Help Workshop (which is included with my VS installs usually, or a free download, can't remember). I find that I do everything in html pages, import them into html workshop, do the finishing touches, and bam, done...

    hmm so for CHM files I have to design the pages one by one in HTML form, and then I compile them together?
    and for doing that I can use that html workshop or robohelp, right?
