C: KchmViewer
Summary:
C: A viewer of CHM (MS-Help) files
Description:
C: >-
<p>KchmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) viewer, written in C++. Unlike most existing CHM viewers for Unix, it
uses Trolltech Qt widget library, and does not depend on KDE or GNOME. However, it may be compiled with full KDE support,
including KDE widgets and KIO/KHTML.</p>
<p>The main advantage of KchmViewer is non-English language support. Unlike others, KchmViewer in most cases correctly
detects help file encoding, correctly shows tables of context of Russian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese help files, and
correctly searches in non-English help files (search for MBCS languages - ja/ko/ch is still in progress).</p>
<p>Completely safe and harmless. Does not support JavaScript in any way, optionally warns you before opening an external
web page, or switching to another help file. Shows an appropriate image for every TOC entry.</p>
<p>KchmViewer Has complete chm index support, including multiple index entries, cross-links and parent/child entries in
index as well as Persistent bookmarks support. Correctly detects and shows encoding of any valid chm file.</p>
