  The collection of help files is also named HHSTNDRD.
  Current version: HHSTNDRD 1.1.0 en.
  In FreeDOS (not in internet) HELP consists of a DOS HTML viewer
  (htmlhelp.exe / help.exe) and the HTML help files. In FreeDOS the help
  files are zipped. On the Internet only the unzipped htm files are in use.
  HTMLHELP / HELP supports NLS (national language support).
  If the local NLS file does not exist, HELP / HTMLHELP falls
  back to English language.
