Waaay before (and quite ancient).

It's been years and years and years since I worked with Ventura, but
IIRC, the .chp file doesn't contain anything but metadata and links. The
text was entered (and edited) in a word processor or text editor. So you
don't import the .chp file, you import the Word (or whatever) file(s)
that the .chp references. 

At least, that's how I recall things working back when we had the
kerosene-fired computers. ;-)
