What is a CHM file?
It stands for Compiled HTML Help. What that means is that it gathers Windows help information in HTML format. The data could include images, hyperlinks, and text. Each time you are unsure about a certain feature on your computer, you immediately press F1 right?. That is where .chm files come in. It was first developed in the year 1997 and later released with Windows 98. It has since been there for years until in 2003 when the developers discontinued its use. However, three years later, an update was released though not as a help tool but rather for software documentation. It comes in handy for people working in remote areas with little to no internet services. If ever someone sends you a file with the .chm extension, carefully scan it as they are prone to malware infections. When you want to compress it, you should use the LZX format. You can also use CHM files to merge various help files.
