Thank’s for the hint.

I found it hard to get xchm, wxGTK and chmlib, with chmlib gone away from the url You gave. All this just to discover that each of them had to be compiled, when obviously the compilation of the first package fails.

As an average user this is far too hard for me. Reading through the other comments on Your post, I just googled for iChm, downloaded, installed – and I’m happy with what I got.

Same here. Chmox is 4 years old now & it’s not showing pictures in some of my documents
Thanks for the recommendation of iChm – it’s nice.

Thanks for the helpful article. I’ve been using Chmox for a while and want to try something else out.

The chm for Mac landscape has changed since this blog entry was written. These days the two real options are iChm and ArCHMock … and fwiw I prefer iChm.

@kdas, thanks for the recommendation of iChm. It’s way better than xCHM, which I was using before.

Hello. Just in case anyone comes here like I did… xchm is no longer offered/supported on Mac OS X. Ugh.

I tried xCHM and it seems that it can’t open multiple CHMs at the same time. Any clue, anyone? Thanks in advance.

Yeah so no luck with the print feature with xchom either!

I prefer the smoother look and feel or Chmox so I am reverting

Thanks for the effort and good hint though!!!
