How to open CHM file?
What is CHM file extension?
The CHM extension is specific to help files in Windows systems. These files are generated based on previously created code in the HTML markup language. This code is compiled into the CHM archive. Such files may contain, in addition to text, images and hyperlinks. CHM help files are used, in addition to Windows itself, by many applications running under that system. The HTML Help Workshop compiler is used to create such files.
