CHM on other platforms; was: re: RoboHelp: Ready to Publish...how do I do that?

Robert,

With respect, your information is either simply misinformed or
seriously out of date.

I just looked at the Ubuntu package manager, and counted at least five
different tools for viewing CHM files in Linux--and one that converts
.chm to .pdf, by the way (apparetly a Python script that might also
work in Windows if the appropriate libraries are present).

There is increasingly little that cannot be run on other platforms,
especially in these days of WINE and the various emulators available,
not to mention virtual machines.

David
