For those asking what I'm talking about: *.chm is a MSWindows format to keep a set of HTMLs & related info (content tree, index) in one compressed package. The Microsoft's util dealing with this format (`hh.exe`) uses MSIExplorer interface to display the chapters, but the problem I face is I can't make the last one work (using `wine`). A great shelf of MSWindows-related (not only) docs is in this format (MSDN lib is an example). The solution is an extractor (rendering the index & content tree into 2 HTMLs would be nice feature) or alternative chm-browser based on other browsers (Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera, Galeon, etc.)
