To read documents CHM in Plucker
CHM is the propietary document format in which the aid is kept from Windows. In fact these abbreviations come from Microsoft Compressed HTML Help. With time, this format has also been used to distribute to manifolds technical documents. If sometimes you must read a file in this format, and are not in a machine that runs Windows, you will have been yourselves incapable abrir the happy document. At the time I also had to look for a way to read them in Linux, and in the end I found several like GnoCHM, KchmViewer and Xchm. But, how we can read them in our Palm. In blog TamsPalm they explain to us how to extract of these files documents HTML, soon to turn them to Plucker format since we would do with any other:
The key is in knowing how to extract the content of file CHM. Is so simple as abrir window of “Symbol of system” (the good old MSDOS so that we are understood), to go to the directory where it is file CHM (for the C:\Mischm example) and to execute the following order:
C:\Mischm\ > hh - decompile c:\directorio _destino fihero.chm
- This will decompress in the directorio_destino directory in content of the file fichero.chm. Now or only we must turn with PDAConverter, Plucker or Sunrise these documents to Plucker format. For it we will have to find the page main of the CHM (more likely index.html will be called) and to use it like document to turn.
That simple. A new document format nonsupported directly by the Palm, that already we can read in Plucker. The following one?

It really tries to realise decompression of a file that I have chm and from feasible window MSDOS not comprendia well the Mischm and decompile
Perhaps I did not explain myself well. “Mischm” is the folder where they are in the example .chm, he is only prompt of MSDOS. The order that you must write is:
“hh - decompile c:\directorio _destino fihero.chm” to droughts.
I have verified that some .chm of third parties cannot be extracted thus. Test first with one of the C:\Windows\Help folder to see that it really works well.
qUISIERA TO KNOW IF THERE IS the POSSIBILITY THAT the PDACONVERTER CAN MAKE CHANGE OF FORMAT PDB BUT IT CAN READ THAT IT IN ISILO. THANKS
SOMEBODY PODRIA TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL SINCE PROFIT TO ME TO MAKE TO SEE ARCHIVES CHM, ASSUMES THAT I HAVE THE HARRISON IN CHM AND TRIES WITH CHM DECODER TO PASS THEM AHTML NEVERTHELESS ONLY ABRE AN INTERNET PAGE TO ME WHERE THIS ASSUMES THERE THE NEW HARRISON IN HTML BUT NOT THAT TO DO. THANKS
as the file of the file is extracted, I have a computer laptop with seen Windows, already lowers plucker in palm, chm to decoder and chm publisher, but really I do not have nor idea like obtaining it by its aid milgracias.
