Hails..

I dont think this qualifies as a gotcha'.. but i thought id just share it 
anyway..

I spent about 4 hours yesterday trying to figure out a way to [effectively] 
open .chm (M$ compiled html) files under linux.. it was getting pretty 
annoying.. rebooting to windows everytime i needed to open a file.. i tried 
everything, from paid-for solutions.. to daemon-based servers  that dump 
their [supposedly] readable interpretations of chm onto a local http port.. 
(WHY!?).. n just in case youre wondering.. theyre all just big jokes!

I did however finally find an amazing project on sourceforge today.. namely, 
Xchm.. no strange prerequisites.. just chmlib--> ( 
http://66.93.236.84/%7Ejedwin/projects/chmlib/ )

for xchm itself -->   http://xchm.sourceforge.net/

having said all that, it does have a weakness.. doesnt tend to work very 
well with some  javascript embedding ebooks..

apart from that its amazing!!
