xCHM is an open source (GPL) viewer for reading Microsoft's proprietary .CHM (compiled HTML) files.

These .chm files are commonly used as product manuals, and lots of e-books come in this format.
For instance, the PHP manuals and the Java class library references are primarily available in .chm format.

Previously, there was no way that I could find to read these on OS X, without using a utility that would decompress the HTML into a million tiny files.

Note that X11 is NOT required. This program runs natively (well, it's Carbon).
