I have convert the 0.7 HTML to HLP by using HtmlToHlp 0.99e available at:
http://www.confluent.fr/javadoc/indexe.html
The links (URL's) work in it as opposed to not working in the HLP file I D/L
from Nathan's site. Don't know if that's only for me or already a known
problem.
I made just 3 minor HTML fixes but I'm uncertain as to what else might need
changing so don't trust it 100%, use your own judgement if I upload it.
Will ask Nathan first.
A couple of the image files show line distortions but most look okay (again,
for me anyway).
So... Nathan? Shall I upload this Megapov07H.hlp file to the
povray.binaries.tutorials group, or not?
It is 634 KB.

I should have said that the indexing does not work in the file I converted
to, not sure how Nathan got his to do so but that doesn't seem an option in
HtmlToHlp anyway. Like I said though, the Contents for example do link to
their respective sections. Just has no Find capability. Not sure which is
worse or better but indexing is tough to get along without.

I figured a better way to convert a edited set of HTML files over to Help
file but it's really not worth it, I believe, to use what I made; so...
nevermind. Anyone could download the HtmlToHlp program anyway and get the
similar results by working on a better conversion using additional html in
the original file.
I used more time than I wanted already on it.
