Hi Jamal,

I've downloaded the archive, and it unarchived successfully.

Thank you.

That's right.  the Express Editions of Visual Studio -- and perhaps
the .NET 2.0 SDK as well -- install .hxs files, but no .chm files.  I
converted all the ones I found.

By the way, if anyone successfully downloads the CHM archive I just
posted, please confirm that it unarchived successfully for you --
including the contained zip archives.  Anyone is free to repost this or
any other documentation collection I have prepared -- the purpose is
nonvisual access to information.

I don't understand. What SDK should we get?

Maybe I didn't understand correctly, but I understand that Jamal converted
the MSDN of VS.net into .chm and .txt format...
