Yup.
There are still two arguments remaining for doing the WinHelp thingie:
- Uniformity with other Windows application (if compiler vendors are
shipping with HTML help, that point may be a bit moot, though.)
- People who don't have the browsers. Getting rare nowadays, I suppose.
Anyways, I found out that an elaborate tex2rtf system is contained in
the wxwin package, so if someone has a couple of spare days (or
weeks), I suspect that it would be rather easy to change it into
rdconv -t rtf. I agree, however, that there's no particular hurry with
this compared to all the other stuff we want to do.
