I converted the MSDN MASM Reference from Help2 (.hxs) to HTML Help (.chm) format. Use the 'See also:" links at the bottom of the pages for navigation.

Thanks Greg, my hard copy is getting really tired. Now if there were some way to (legally) get the other components from the wire-bound reference that accompanied the commercial versions of MASM, most importantly the Processor reference.
I updated the file above to include links to the ML Error Messages. They were missing in the previous one. I don't know if it's worth fixing the links to the H2INC Error Messages.
Updated again.
Huston we have problem :toothy

theCaller,
What does that mean? If it was text, I could have cut and pasted it, and then translated it with Babel Fish.
It's the "action cancelled" message you receive in IE for example, when the page is not accesible, etc.
A wild guess is that you have a broken link in the chm.
Ghirai,
Thanks. It would be nice to know which link. I haven't run across a broken one myself.
Thanks Greg, it is useful for me :thumbu
I added a Table of Contents to the CHM file in the first post. Makes navigation easier.
Again thanks :)
Any chance to add x64 directives? I miss them since I work with ML64.

MazeGen,
I would have to re-do the whole thing with the newer MSDN version. I am not currently using the 64-bit stuff so the motivation is not there. It was quite a bit of work.
How I did it:
1. Uncompile the VCMASM.HXS file to several HTM files with HXCOMP.EXE which is part of the Help 2 SDK.
2. Use the HTML Help Workshop to build the CHM file from the HTM files, making sure to get all the links correct, and build a Table of Contents by hand.
Here is another way How To Convert MS Help 2.x to MS HH 1.x (http://www.mshelpwiki.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=ToHTMLHelp).
An alternative to using a CHM is to use a Help 2 viewer like H2Viewer (http://www.helpware.net/mshelp2/h2viewer.htm) and just load the VCMASM.HXS file individually.
I wanted a CHM version to integrate with WinAsm Studio and TextPad.
