Trying to extract some info from a Mac Help file.
Anybody know of an application that will do this?
And not Acrobat - it's not that type of file, it's a native help file

OS9 or OSX help? Are you on a Mac and want to extract the info or are you on a PC and need to read a Mac help file?
You should just be able to drop the file into a decent text editor (not Word, something that can handle Hex and does syntax colouring is usually up to the task) and extract the raw text. You might have to do some editing to remove control codes etc.
