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

This article seems promising, though I can't guarantee that all software listed there is apt-gettable on Ubuntu. chmsee and kchmviewer are in avaliable in Debian though, so they should be in Ubuntu as well.

I am using Kchmviewer on Ubuntu since quite long. It has worked well without any issues on Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.10 for me.

chm format is supported by plenty of apps. Depending on what you'd use chm files for (for instance, ebooks, reading tech docs, or as a reference a la windows help), I would recommend any or all of the following:
gnochm - http://gnochm.sourceforge.net/ FBreader - http://www.fbreader.org/ Firefox chmreader extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3235

xchm doesn't support javascript inside books. If you have any issue other than this, Please report a bug.
NB: Or let me know directly, I maintain it for Debian (and try to help for Mac OS X port) :)
