CHMReader

Pocket PC's do not come with a CHM Reader, and until now the ones available on the web were not free, or did not handle large CHM files well.

CHMReader is a free CHM Reader which can handle large CHM files (tested up to 14Mb in size). It also comes with full source-code. Maybe someone plans use it to convert it to Palm

CHM = Microsoft Windows HTML Help file format (CHM), which should provide an easy to use database-like format for searching and viewing information. Can also be used as an eBook format.

Check this thread over at the iSilo forums for a way to convert .chm files to iSilo format. Haven't tried it yet myself, but it sounds convincing.

I downloaded and tried CHMReader. It's not bad! I was able to read the iSilo for windows help file with no trouble at all. Nice!

There are a couple of tools out there which can decompile .chm to .html. The most promising I've tried is CHM2web (shareware).

Be aware the link at the top is now broken. You can still grab CHMReader from PocketGear.

There's also a newer version called CHMReader.Net with more features available on The Code Project

I found a freeware chm-to-html converter (go to the bottom of the page) that works fantastically well. It's called CHM Encoder and I tested it with a 9 meg chm file and it spit out beautiful html pages with images and formatting completely intact. From html, convert it with your favorite offline reader!
