If you took good notes, it would be good to incorporate those tweaks
into the arm_info tool. Producing a Windows-friendly version of the ARM
would be a Good Thing.

Please try it yourself, or send me your notes. Or your final output;
maybe I can reverse engineer it.

I've not heard of DevHelp. I found
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/devhelp/3.0/ (via Wikipedia :).
It would be useful to add that to arm_info as well (less so than
MS-HTMLHELP).

That's very true. Which is why I added info to arm_form, and we should
add others, as well.
