yeah.  some versions of windows will create this whenever you run the 
program.  that is undesirable mostly because now make will think the 
project is out of date, assuming it doesn't overwrite anything in it-- 
which may actually be the reason.

hcrtf is the help compiler.  I don't care as I'm no longer building the 
project, but if the rtf changes then so must the .hlp along with it. 
That's how it would be done.
