Finally a product that didn't crash on me and works!

Pros
It didn't crash on me. I used it to make a chm file out of a website. I don't know much about how to do this. I tried about 7-8 other programs and they all either didn't work or they crashed on me midway through compiling. I'm no expert at this.
Cons
I couldn't figure out how to get jpgs to load up, though I got pngs to load up fine.
Summary
I used this to try to create a .chm file from a website. This is the first product that allowed me to get all the way through to create a .chm file that didn't crash midway through the program. I went though around 7-8 other programs that I couldn't get to work. Maybe it's because of my lack of know-how or knowledge of how to use these things since this is the first time I ever tried to do something like this.
There are still tons of things I don't know how to do, but at least I got the bare minimum out of this product, that is the completion of my own chm file. Granted I couldn't get a jpg to show up at all, but .png's showed up fine.
I didn't/couldn't do a full evaluation of everything and I don't know what over half the options are for, but I figured out enough to get my job done.
If I knew more about how to use these kinds of programs then I could probably give this a more appropriate rating.
