Package: chmlib (0.35-5)

library for dealing with Microsoft CHM format files

It is a very simple library, but sufficient for dealing with all of the chm files. Library currently does not has write support.

CHM files are used on the Micosoft Windows platform to store program documentation, almost always in the form of HTML, with some non-standard quirks. CHM files are a form of archive known as InfoTech Storage Format (ITSF) files and contain some special files to implement features of the CHM viewer. On Windows they are accessed through a kind of virtual filesystem exposed by a dynamically loaded library. ITSF files have UTF-8 filenames and use an LZX cruncher to compress all the files in one big chunk. Both the ITSF and the formats of the internal CHM files are highly indexed and their designs are all clearly optimized for read-only access.

you could use a software called xCHM to view chm files.
