These are often included by mistake when developers generate + a tarball without cleaning the source directory first. + . + CHM files are mainly produced by proprietary, Windows-specific software. + They are also mainly consumed by the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop. + . + Whilst there is free software to read and write them, any + examples existing in source packages are likely to be created + by the proprietary Microsoft software and are probably missing + the source HTML and associated files. + . + If there is no sign this was intended, consider reporting it as + an upstream bug. |
