Apple Mac OS X Open And View .chm File

I know how to open .chm files under Linux, but how do you open and view .CHM files under Apple Mac OS X?

Microsoft Compiled HTML Help is a proprietary format for online help files, developed by Microsoft and first released in 1997 as a successor to the Microsoft WinHelp format. It was first introduced with the release of Windows 98, and is still supported and distributed through Windows XP and Vista platforms.

Application To Open .CHM Files Under Mac OS X

You can try the following applications:

1. xCHM is a cross-platform GUI front-end to chmlib, with borrowed bits from Pabs' chmdeco project. Originally written for UNIX systems (Linux, *BSD, Solaris), xCHM has been since ported to Mac OS X and Windows.
2. chmox is another GNU based free good program to view .chm files under OS X.

You can simply download chmox from the official website and install on your OS X computer.
