Visio 2000 help file

Can anyone help me with a copy of the file visio.hlp from Visio 2000? Mine has disappeared, and so have my disks

There is no file 'visio.hlp' in Visio 2000 as far as I can see. there is a 'visio.chm' (compiled help file) as well as a large number of various help files of various types plus 5 PDF documents.

Thankyou very much for your reply which is puzzling. The message I get when I press F1 or select Help in the menu is "Cannot find the D:\Program Files\Visio 2000 Professional\Help\VISIO.hlp file. Do you want to try to find this file yourself?". But I note that there is a file Visio.chm in that directory. A clue! In a moment of inspiration I have clicked on it and there is the help! Great. But when I try to load it in response to the message it says it is not a help file... But I can just make a shortcut and use it that way, so thanks :-)
