Hi,
I feel that people should get the SDK if they want the CHM files because
that would assure them of always getting the most up-to-date files.

Hi Inthane,
The conversions went from .hxs to .htm to .txt.  I still have the 90 or
so .chm files, which I saved for folks who may prefer that.  They are
huge -- too big for my server space at present, so I would like to use
anonymous FTP to copy them to someone else's server who can make them
available.  They still have cryptic names, so someone may also want to
rename them to something more meaningful based on an inspection of the
contents.
