I have cited official source, I have proven it experimentally, and I explained how it all works. For you to continue claim otherwise without citing any evidence to support your position destroys your credibility. --- Here is _yet another_ proof from the best HTML Help site: http://htmlhelpcenter.hypermart.net/hhsysreq.htm HTML Help Viewer System Requirements Internet Explorer 3.0 HTML Help Viewer Components - Installed using the free run time installer hhupd.exe HTML Help is a technology that requires internet browser components in order to work. Microsoft Internet Explorer is the only browser that will work with the HTML Help viewer components. The absolute minimum requirement is Internet Explorer 3. However, some testing has shown that there are still some things missing in Internet Explorer 3, causing some problems with the HTML Help viewer. Because of this, using at least Internet Explorer 4 is highly recommended. You can select any version of Internet Explorer you'd like at the Evolt Browser Archive.
