[edit] Development applications
Compiled HTML Help files can be created in other applications, such as PowerCHM. HTML Help Workshop is not the only application capable of creation of this type of document. Adraeus 04:57, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
While many HATs can create CHMs, I don't know that any can create a true CHM without using the underlying HTML Help Workshop engine - available only from Microsoft, but freely available to general users and software developers.
[edit] Year of appearance
Does anyone know when was CHM launched by MS? (the year)
For a history of Microsoft's Help engine development, see Rob Chandler's excellent site at: Helpware.net
[edit] Required DLLs
A chm file that opens in my machine, doesnt open in my colleague's. So I want to know, which are the required DLLs for CHM.
[edit] unix lib chm
In ubuntu it's libchm-bin instead of chmlib-bin. Is this only for ubuntu or...?--NESFreak 15:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] chm on MacOSX: chmtools package not included in Fink
The chmtools are not included in Fink. I could not find an indication they ever were. The only available version of the tools are available as CVS only, and therefore cannot be installed by everyday users.
I haven't tried MacPorts yet, but search indicates a similar situation.
In short, it seems there is no way to dump .chm files on MacOSX.
