Hi,

Here is the README included with the project:

cl-chmlib
=========

`cl-chmlib' is a small Common Lisp bindings set for the `chmlib' C
library, using CFFI. It provides access to all the public API provided
by this library.

From the `chmlib' homepage:

  "CHMLIB is a library for dealing with Microsoft ITSS/CHM format
  files. Right now, it is a very simple library, but sufficient for
  dealing with all of the .chm files I've come across."

`chmlib' was created by Jed Wing

Summary
-------

To work with a CHM:

  (with-chm (<var> <filename>) <body>)

To get information about an objet:

  (chm-object-info <chm> <path>)

To retrieve an object:

  (chm-retrieve-object <chm> <path>)

Two functions allows to enumerate objects:

  (chm-enumerate <chm> <what> <callback>)
  (chm-enumerate-directory <chm> <prefix> <what> <callback>)

where <callback> take one parameter, and must return `nil' to stop
enumeration.

Distribution
------------

The package which contains the source can be found at:

  http://tuxee.net/cl-chmlib-0.1.tar.gz

or:

  http://tuxee.net/cl-chmlib-latest.tar.gz

You need CFFI for accessing foreign functions, and ASDF if you want to
use systems.

Homepage

A web page is *not yet* available. But once done, I will put it at:
