Hello,
In the past I have created 2 modes in Muse to produce help files from
JavaHelp and CSH. Those modes derived throm html. I want to adapt them
to org-mode (version 7.9). I think they could be implemented as a hook
to html export. What do you think is the best way to create new
exports in that case?

We rewrote export framework in Org 8.0. I suggest to use it instead.
IIUC, what you want to create is called a "derived back-end". There is
a section about it in the manual. Also, ox-md (Markdown back-end) in
core and both ox-s5 and ox-deck in contrib directory are all derived
from html back-end. You may want to look at them.
Do not hesitate to ask on this ML if you need help.

Thank you for your answer. Yes I have read about the new exports but
my initial goal was to use the version included in latest emacs
release distribution and I think it is version 7.9. The javahelp and
CHM files are mainly html files created by splitting main HTML. Those
files are then processed by external tools. I thought I could create
the required files without requiring too much of org export machinery.

Exactly.
NG> There is a section about it in the manual.
This section doesn't seem to exist in my version. I think it is in
version 8.

From what you said I think I have to consider switching to version 8.
