Sure, that is why for their products you (or others) pay to use their
products.  These companies have a _commercial_ interest and a few hundred
well-paid developers to fix and workaround each and every problem they have
with the old help system!

How much do you pay for POV-Ray?  How many developers does the POV-Team pay
to develop POV-Ray?

There are many solutions for you:


* Wait for the final version of POV-Ray 3.5.

As has been stated clearly before, only during the development of POV-Ray we
will NOT provide alternative formats as those take time to generate that we
rather spend on fixing bugs.


* Use another operating system.

For the current beta you can only use Mac OS, but sooner or later a Linux
version will be available.  Both obviously won't have Microsoft HTML Help.


* Don' use POV-Ray 3.5.

Nobody is forcing you to use the current beta.  Use POV-Ray 3.1g if you like
it more.


* Don't use POV-Ray

Again, nobody is forcing you to use POV-Ray.  If you want a different help
system, you may try a different program.  I don't know, but maybe 3D Studio
Max, Cinema 4D or Maya have a help in a format you like more.  As you seem
to dislike HTML help so much is probably won't be a problem for you to pay
for what makes you happy ;-)
