archmage is an extensible reader/decompiler of files in CHM format(Microsoft HTML help, also known as Compiled HTML).

There is three ways to use arCHMage package now:

1) Extract .chm to directory(directory will be created):

archmage < chmfile > < directory >

2) Run as http-server, which will publish chm file contents on specified port.

archmage -p < port > < chmfile >

3) Tune your apache to publish chm file contents if there is trailing slash in request to that file(you will need working mod_python for that):

Add that lines to your httpd.conf:

AddHandler python-program .chm
PythonHandler mod_chm

Restart apache.

Let's suppose, you have file sample.chm in DocumentRoot of your apache. After that tuning you can receive raw chm file, if you point your browser to

http://yourserver/sample.chm

or you can view chm file on the fly if you point your browser to

http://yourserver/sample.chm/ (note trailing slash)
