MS HTML Help Workshop only runs on Windows, and there is no other tool (even on Windows) to compile a CHM. Every other authoring tool requires this to be on the computer, as the format is not documented, so the work is done by invoking the hhc.exe from the command line. For the PHP manual Derick Rethans (derick@php.net) downloads the XML sources, builds up the HTMLs, and then runs our PHP scripts (current ones at cvs.php.net/phpdoc). Finally calls the CHM creator on the HTML files, and uploads the files with ssh (I guess) to rsync.php.net where a script moves the files to the right place to the rsync directory tree. So not a simple process ;) Goba
