 # xchm
 
+xCHM is a cross-platform GUI front-end to chmlib, with borrowed bits from Pabs'
+chmdeco project.
+Originally written for UNIX systems (Linux, *BSD, Solaris), xCHM has been since
+ported to Mac OS X and Windows.
+
+xCHM can show the content tree if one is available, print pages, change font
+face and size, remember bookmarks, display a searchable index, and search for
+words in the current page and the whole book.
