XCHM is a .chm viewer for UNIX (Linux, *BSD, Solaris), written by Razvan Cojocaru. Success stories of xCHM on Mac OS X have also been received, and apparently xCHM even works if compiled under the Cygwin environment in Windows.
xCHM can show the contents tree if one is available, print the displayed page, change fonts faces and size, work with bookmarks, do the usual history stunts (forward, back, home), provide a searchable index and seach for text in the whole book. The search is a fast B-tree search, based on the internal $FIftiMain file found inside indexed .chm archives, and it can be customized to search in content or just the topics' titles.
xCHM uses Jed Wing's CHMLIB for general purpose .chm access, and wxGTK for the GUI.

xchm is the best chm viewer there is on unix-like operating systems...sure , each desktop enviornment has its own chm viewer...but xchm is certainly the best among all of them. c_d
