THEWHITERABBIT  You're right, it is expensive. Ordering from the US, though, would add shipping costs to Romania, plus ~20% extra in customs tax, so it would end up costing about the same ammount, if not more.

THEWHITERABBIT  Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the MacMini machine I've been connecting to build xCHM. If you need pre-compiled xCHM binaries that you can drag-and-drop to install, I will continue to create them free of charge, provided that I manage to raise enough money to buy a cheap Mac machine to work on. If you would like to donate, you can use the "Support this project button" at the bottom of any page from http://xchm.sourceforge.net. All you need is a SourceForge.net account (which is free), and a PayPal account. The minimum donation allowed by the SourceForge.net system is $5, and I need to raise about 800 EUROs for the cheapest MacMini machine available here.

This is, of course, if you prefer to have pre-built universal binaries. The source code is still available for free, and it is obviously possible to make Mac builds.

SYED ALI  800 Euros for the cheapest Mac Mini? Wow .. that's expensive. In USA the cheapest Mac costs around $599.. and you can get it cheaper if you buy a refurbished.. but they are hard to come by. You should make a contact in USA who can help you in getting a Mac mini here. :)

THEWHITERABBIT  I've made a new build with the Unicode support disabled (my theory is that's what caused the crashes). Of course, I could be wrong. Please test it on i386 and let me know. You can get it from here:

THEWHITERABBIT  I've built an universal binary of xCHM for version 1.9. Not sure if it works properly on i386 though, I could only test it on a PPC-based machine. Thought you might be interested in that. Cheers.

COLDFUSION1970  The application itself opened fine, but it kept quitting when i tried to open some of my chm files.

I tried it with 5 or 6 different chm files and it wouldnt open any of them.

I have a 20" Intel iMac with a 2ghz processor running 10.4.6.

BLUESPOT  xChm is quite unstable with every CHM file I tried to open. Either xChm crashes at startup, or reports that it couldn't read the CHM file.

Via Rosetta, it runs fine though it's rather slow (obviously...)

I've a MacBook with a 2ghz processor.

THEWHITERABBIT  Yeah the 1.3 version shown by get info is a slip-up (heh, sorry). Please update your links to the latest version (1.5-2) which is even friendlier for Mac OS X users (no more warnings if the locale is not set to default, toolbar buttons added for 'find in page' and 'copy selection', and now Cmd-C also works.

THEWHITERABBIT  Hello.

As the old xCHM Mac OS package seems to have been orphaned, there's a new binary of xCHM built for Mac OS X 10.4 available for download on the SourceForge page.

The link is:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87007&package_id=171033

Cheers.
