Mark,
I haven't yet installed Vista so have not studied its construction but your
suggestion does sound a little dangerous. Firstly you say "replace", would
it not be safer to rename the Vista file and then copy WinHlp32.exe into the
same folder.
I also wonder if programs which are designed for Vista use would then
display their help files since the file they use would no longer be present?
I can envisage one having to continually switch the names of the (now) two
Windows help files to accomodate the program in use.

There is an easy fix to the Vista help problem. Go to
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article07-500. Basically it
involves replacing the WinHlp32.exe file in Vista with that from XP.
I've done it and it works like a charm.

Jon,
The best I can tell you is that we have a lot of Legacy users and beta
testers who have been running Legacy under Vista beta. At this point, the
only problem reported has been with the Help files since they're in the
.hlp
format which Vista doesn't support and Microsoft has fallen through with a
promised download to allow the use of that Help file format.
The programmers will be working on converting the Help files to a Vista
accepted format. I don't know which one.
I just got my Vista computer yesterday and haven't had a chance to get
"live" with it. Hopefully within the next few days I'll be able to give
it
a full whirl.
Thanks for using Legacy.

Ron,
I'd expect that tech support is examining this issue. I do hope that
either Sherry or someone else from tech support will give us their
opinions
on this issue, which could become a significant problem.
