Publisher's description
From HelpExplorer Software :Help Explorer Viewer is a full-featured help viewer for both Windows and Linux. One of its main advantages is 100% support of the WinHelp (.hlp), MS HTML Help 1.x (.chm) and MS Help 2.0 (.HxS) help file formats that are widely used in Windows, which lets you use the same online help files for cross-platform applications running under Linux and Windows. Another great advantage of Help Explorer Viewer is its easy integration into your applications. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Version: Help Explorer Viewer 3
Pros: Biggest advantage over MS CHM viewer is that you can change font size of the document without touching internet font size settings

2. if CHM extension is associated with the application , double clicking a file does not open it automatically , you still have to issue FILE/OpenSummary: Much better substitue to regular CHM viewer

Cons: Didn't install properly. To make it work, I had to move (drag-n-drop) the "gre" folder into the "bin" folder of the program, located at:

Summary: I like it because it is free and quick and simple and solved my problem of not being able to open .chm files in my Windows XP SP2 PC that I downloaded as part of a .zip application.
Thanks to the developers of HelpExplorer 3.0 viewer. <... read more >> - See all 3 user reviews Write review
