Key Features

Universal Help Viewer Engine
One of Help Explorer Viewer's main advantages is 100% support for the Microsoft Windows Help (WinHelp) - .HLP, Microsoft HTML Help 1.x - .CHM, and Microsoft Help 2.0 - .HXS — help file formats which are widely used in Windows.

Cross-platform solution for both Windows and Linux
Help Explorer Viewer lets you as a software developer use the same online help files for cross-platform applications, no matter under which operating system - Windows or Linux - your applications are deployed.

There is no more need to create a new help format for Linux and build a viewer for it. Just prepare your Linux documentation in any of the generally adopted Windows help formats, distribute Help Explorer Viewer with your application, and your customers will be able to read the documentation under Linux as if they are reading it under Windows. The HTML engine built into Help Explorer Viewer renders topics retaining their original format.
