Using the HELPMAKE utility included with many MS language products, you
can decode a .HLP file:

    HELPMAKE /DU BC.HLP > Output.Txt
              |    |    |     |--------Output file name
              |    |    |--------------DOS "Redirect Output" symbol
              |    |-------------------Help file to decompile
              |------------------------Decompile/Remove links (binary info)
