>> I used to use dillo on my main desktop too, for browsing documentation that wasn't too heavy on CSS

Hah! I used an old Dell laptop that had a 1400x1050 (?) screen for this exact purpose with Dillo.

I was so mad that software stopped using Windows help files...they were so much more efficient!

Are you referring to HTML Help? I believe they rendered those with Internet Explorer; I'm willing to bet they still do for backwards compatibility.

I think they meant the Windows help files (HLP files). There seems to be a copy of the viewer here https://archive.org/details/microsoft_help_viewer_hlp
