[ILUG-BOM] strange case of chm files which don't open correctly

Recently had gone over to linuxappfinder.com and was seeing the software collection of alternatives to windows softwares. Came across free-cad.sourceforge.net. Downloaded the help documentation in chm format (bottom, right corner of the home page under most downloaded section). Tried opening the CHM file with xchm. It opens as a plain text file with all the html tags etc.

Maybe there are better (more uptodate) chm readers available now than the xchm I am now using. If anybody knows of such softwares, pls let me know. Earlier (on another computer while using ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04) i had come across another chm/ebook reader software using synaptic but haven't installed it yet on the 9.04 computer.

Thanks, Kussh
