hey all, in addition to what you all been through, this might be something good to share, sometimes you might wonder why certain chm files would run in linux, and on the contrary they do not on windows! there are MS Win versions of course for mostly every program you mentioned "sourceforge" that work fine on windows.. the trick lies in the windows html compiler, if the path of your file or the file itself contain the '#' symbol, then it won't open for the compiler somewhat gets confused or sth " I read something like that" in my case, I faced that trying to read coupla C# files... thought it might help... regards.

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 |
