helpdeco -- utility program to dissect Windows help files
Version 2.1.3:
* Add patches from Dirk Jagdmann to fix struct packing in GCC >= 3,
use POSIX path lengths instead of DOS ones, and fix strlwr/strupr
* Improve const correctness in the source code
Version 2.1.2:
* Add GCC 4.0 patch from Andreas Jochens <aj@andaco.de>
Version 2.1.1:
* Relicence to the GNU General Public Licence >= 2
* Incorporate the NetBSD patches by Ben Collver
* Add a Makefile (by Paul Wise)
Version 2.1:

* Win95 topic names may contain (nearly) all characters
* 0x8000 in SWin->Maximize allowed
* ForeHelp creates PhrIndex/PhrImage _and_ _empty_ Phrases file
* HCRTF complained about > footnotes before # footnotes
* macro parsing changed again
Version 2.0:
* Guess context ids from titles and keywords based on idea of Bent Lynggaard
* Recompiled 16 bit EXE without register calling convention. BC++ 3.1 bug.
* Doesn't print last (stray) topic of HC30 help files
* Can list entry points into this help file (option /l)
Version 1.9: faster & better than ever...
* changed TopicPos, TopicOffset, Keyword maintenance
* changed unhash to 40 bit integer arithmetic
* fixed keyword footnotes [Bent Lynggaard]
* no [ALIAS] in MVP files
* no hidden text in option /r RTF files
* some changes in font and stylesheet handling
* corrects rounding error of HC31 on negative values
* handles non-underlined topic jumps
Version 1.8: used some spare days to clean up the to-do list...
* better tracking of TopicOffset during decompilation
* lists and checks references to external files, shows referencing topics
* can add annotations from .ANN file to decompiled .RTF file
* fixed bug in handling of pictures containing JumpId-macro hotspots
* changed parsing of macros (3rd attempt to guess what Microsoft did)
* fixed bug in popup/jump to external file / secondary window
* fixed bug in > footnote / |VIOLA internal file handling
* fixed bug in keyword assignment
* now removes LZ77 compression from exported SHGs/MRBs
* recreates Win 95 (HCW 4.00) [MACROS] section from internal |Rose file
* 32 bit version available
* handles LANGUAGE, [CHARTAB] and [GROUP] section of media view files
Version 1.7
* removed unneccessary output statement
Version 1.6 can now check references to external help files plus:
* duplicate macro names preceeding picture hotspot info skipped
* does not write Win95 commands to multi-media help project files
* changed unhash to circumvent Microsoft-C++ float rounding error
* handles keywords defined inside topic text
Version 1.5
* fixed static on buffer of TopicName function (affected HC30 files)
Version 1.4 fixes some bugs reported by different users:
* buffer overflow in expanding LZ77&RunLen (byPacked 3) images fixed
* embedded images {bmxwd} larger than 32k supported
* extract topic names from jump into external file if no file specified
* handles more phrases on HCRTF generated (Win95) help files
* Windows 3.1 (HC31) |Phrases always Zeck compressed
* LinkData2 buffer enlarged 1 byte to store trailing NUL character
Version 1.3
* parses examples of {bmc} etc. statements contained in help text correctly
* can now generate a *.CNT content file for Windows 95 / WinHlp32
* Microsoft C: ctype macros (isalnum/isprint) don't work with signed char
Version 1.2 fixes some severe bugs introduced in version 1.1 and:
* tells you which help compiler to use
* collects multiple keyword footnotes into single lines
* handles \r\n in COPYRIGHT
* converts SPC-macro (but only in [CONFIG] section)
* does not generate duplicate MAP-statements if possible
* {button} and {mci,mci_left,mci_right} commands supported
* [BITMAP]-section in HCRTF help files irritated transparent bitmaps
Version 1.1 now supports more features of Win95/HCRTF 4.00/WinHlp32:
* Supports LCID, CHARSET, AUTO-SIZE HEIGHT, CNT, INDEX_SEPARATORS
* Additional Win95 Macros (to extract original topic names)
* [CONFIG:n] of Win95 supported (internal file |CFn)
* Secondary windows with > footnote supported (internal file |VIOLA)
* Transparent bitmaps supported (bmct,bmlt,bmrt)
* Expanded internal limits as HCRTF allows larger items
* Now does RunLen compressed device dependend bitmaps
* Bugs in handling of metafiles removed
* Bug in placement of pack(1) removed
* Parsing of macros changed (is it really better now ?)
