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.
