I use HelpMaker (download from www.vizacc.com)
It's a great tool and it is absolutely free!

Ken,

I was not aware of this. Thanks. I have downloaded the SDK and taken a quick
look at this. It appears that it can only produce help systems displayed via
the VisualStudio 2005 UI. It also seems that the license restricts it to that
use even if it could produce stand-alone help systems. Am I missing something?

Having said that, it does look like an interesting product.
