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!! _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://mail.jolug.org/mailman/listinfo/general_jolug.org
