Import WinHelp projects
You can import compiled WinHelp 4.0 (HLP) or the WinHelp project file (HPJ) into a project.
The HPJ file is the main organizational file, containing all the source files. When generating WinHelp, RoboHelp
creates an HLP file and a CNT file. The HLP file doesn't contain topics excluded by a conditional build expression, so
the new project might not mirror the original.
You can import HLP files to HTML-based projects, but the process is easier if you have the HPJ file.
You can't output a WinHelp file from RoboHelp HTML.
