That's why I built them.
The other great advantage of PDF is that it is portable.
It's a pity that the Microsoft .chm format isn't portable even to the
platforms that can run their browser. (Or at least, that's what I've been
told.)
I tried JavaHelp and it is too slow for practical use on big packages.
May be in the near future Mozilla can drive a suitable online Help engine.
