Opening .chm files


Hi there,

I have a couple of help files I made compiling information regarding Debian and various programs, but in this I could not find any packages that open or convert .chm files. Is there such a thing available? I thought about Wine, but was unsure. Thanks

If you want a chm reader see here:

If you want a CLI script to do it, install chmlib:

There's a script included called extract_chmLib, you can use that to extract chm into html and accompanying files.
