The chmlib-tools package contains some low-level type programs which can be
used to unpack chm and manipulate chm files:
test_chmLib - extracts a file out of a chm file
extract_chmLib - extracts a chm file into a directory
enumdir_chmLib - lists the contents of chm file(s)
enum_chmLib - lists the contents of a chm file
chm_http - simplistic web server to allow browsing of chm files
without extracting them
These tools seem to be fairly crude, but you may be able to do somethng
useful with them.
