Paul O’Rear [MS] (was a Help MVP) has finally got his Namespace# 2.0 tool released on the MS web site. And it’s free! :-) 

A nice MS Help 2.0 diagnostics tool that goes beyond the features of Namespace.exe (free tool with VS SDK). It allows you to view all Help 2.0 namespaces on your system and drill into the files and information associated with each namespace.

  Click on the “Download” tab.

Great tool. Very similar features to our FAR H2 Utilities and reads Namespace information a little faster than FAR. Requires .NET 2.0 runtime (which you should already have if VS is installed).

Nikolay Dobrev posted a nice artical on how to create what he calls MS Help 2.x place holders. That is a base collection that you can plug / unplug all your other collections into, and so keep your companies H2 docs gathered together in once place.
