  It's funny that you first hear lots of stories about unstability, but when
you try yourself, you don't see any.
  Why everyone else seems to have an unstable IE but I don't?

  Why? They take more space and are more difficult to navigate. Of course
a HTML version is good as an alternative, but not as the only solution.

: document would also be better than Microsoft's html-help.

  How so? PDF is more difficult to navigate and you have a lot less options
to configure how it looks. And does it support URLs?

: In fact, a word processor document would have been better.

  This is even worse than a PDF. You just *can't* navigate a document.

: Last but not least, I would rather have one, large, plain,
: ascii, tezt file - instead of html help. 

  *puke*
