Dear all,
here are two fine routines to read the windows helpfiles with linux
* gnochm is updated (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnochm/)
(GnoCHM is a CHM file viewer for Gnome2. It uses PyCHM, a set of Python
wrappers around the C library libchm)
* HelpExplorer (http://www.kamasoftware.com/helpexplorer.php)
(HelpExplorer - is a full-feature system of help for OS Linux. It gives a
wide range of capacities to customize the user's interface and it can be
easily integrated into your applications. One of the main advantages of
this system is 100% support of both MS-HTML Help 1.x (CHM) and WinHelp
help file format widely used in OS Windows. It enables to use the same
files of documents for applications of OS Linux and OS Windows.)
At the moment I have some problems to get gnochm compiling because I have
SuSE and as desktop KDE choosen. With RedHat and Gnome2 there should be no
problem. It would be fine to see a complete rpm package for SuSE.
HelpExplorer comes as 10MB tgz file with all needed sub routines and
installs by default in the users $HOME dir. It has all what you need for
interactive access to the online help. For Linux Users it is free of
charge, but closed source.
For distributors there is a Deployment License necessary. With that and an
additional library the HelpExplorer could be attached to an aplication.
If JDs feature request for gnochm was sucessfully added (I believe yes) then
this is with no additional fee implemented in gnochm. (License GPL)
cheers and happy help
