Subject: .NET 2.0 documentation converted from HXS to structured text

Now available at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/net20doc.zip

This large zip archive (about 25 megabytes compressed) contains
structured text versions of documentation for developing with the
Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework.  The documentation was converted from
files in Microsoft Help 2 format (.hxs extension) that were installed
with the Express Editions of Visual C# 2005, Visual Basic 2005, and SQL
Server 2005.  The purpose is to provide an alternate format that may be
easier to search, browse, and read for some users of screen reader
programs, as compared to the nonvisual usability provided by Microsoft
Document Explorer or other readers of the native help format.

The .hxs files were initially converted to HTML with ABC Amber HXS
Converter, which is commercially available from http://ProcessText.com

Subsequently, Custom utilities eliminated redundant header or footer
lines and created structured text that may be used with any text reader.
Such use is particularly convenient with programs that implement the
"Homer editor interface," e.g., EdSharp, which is freely available at
http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe

About 90 File names, -- listed below -- were changed from cryptic
abbreviations to meaningful phrases by inspecting their initial content.
Since the conversions involve approximations, they are intended to make
valuable content more accessible, rather than attempt error-free
translations.
