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.

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.
