will Delphi 2005 help with help?

I thought of moving up from Delphi 5 to Delphi 2005 on the theory that it might make it easier access the new html Help files.

I stopped when I noticed some very bad comments about D2005. Looks like that version was not so good. Maybe I should stick with D5.

Any thoughts?

My first help file, a fairly large one with about 50 topics, has been fully converted to the new htmlHelp format and it works. The change over was quite easy. The "HTML help workshop" from Microsoft actually translated my old help source files into the new format, only not creating a table of contents and putting all the text in black. It was easy to create the table of contents because it already knew all the topic names.

I haven't tackled the job of changing the Delphi program to access the new help file from help buttons and context F1.
