NAME

       archmage - CHM(Compiled HTML) Decompressor.

SYNOPSIS

       archmage chmfile directory
       archmage -p port chmfile

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the archmage command.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       arCHMage is an extensible reader and decompiler for files in the CHM format. This  is  the
       format  used by Microsoft HTML Help, and is also known as Compiled HTML. arCHMage is based
       on python-chm binding to chmlib from GnoCHM project.

USAGE

       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 archmod.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)

FILES

       /etc/archmage/arch.conf
              System-wide configuration file.
