History
- 1990 - WinHelp 1.0 shipped with Windows 3.0.
- 1995 - WinHelp 4.0 shipped with Windows 95 / Windows NT.
- 2006 - Microsoft announced its intentions to phase out WinHelp as a supported platform. WinHelp is not part of Windows Vista out-of-the-box. WinHelp files come in 16 bit and 32 bit types. Vista treats these files types differently. When starting an application that uses the 32 bit .hlp format, Windows warns that the format is no longer supported. A downloadable viewer for 32 bit .hlp files is available from the Microsoft Download Center. The 16 bit WinHelp files continue to display in Windows Vista (32 bit only) without the viewer download.
- October 14, 2009 - Microsoft announced the downloadability of Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) for Windows 7 at the Microsoft Download Center.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
