wine users - Dec 2008 - chm NOT fixed but success elswhere

First: Contrary to claims chm viewing is NOT fixed.It's better but graphics
and the index are still broken. I washed my hands on bug reporting of the
problems, as I now use firefox with the chm addon which works even better than
the last kchmviewer I tried.

Great News: 
I installed the latest PBWin9.0 and the first example I tried worked flawlessly.
This surprised me as this was a COM example that uses the Microsoft WebBrowser
Object.

So please report a bug in an app we can reproduce and fix :-)

Been there, done that only to be basically called a moron.

There has been progress, but to claim it fixed is not true.

I don't know what was used to test this but I have yet to find any chm that
displays correctly.

Here are screenies of PowerBASIC's PBWin90 chm main screen.

Tijl,
  Yeah that's probably the case but it's rather old and probably got
overlooked because it's title is for a specific app; and I don't see an 
attachment. I think I'll go ahead and post a new report with an attached chm
that fails.
