Compiled HTML Help File

CHM (Compiled HTML Help) is a file format used for distributing software documentation and help files. It compiles multiple HTML pages, images, and other support files into a single, compressed file for easy distribution. CHM files are commonly used for offline documentation, help systems, and e-books, offering features like full-text search, indexing, and hyperlinks, making them user-friendly and efficient for accessing information.

TCR Test Recording

The TCR file is a test recording format often used for storing results from automated tests, user interaction recordings, or other data intended for analysis. This file format facilitates efficient information archiving and is well-suited for various purposes, from debugging to performance monitoring. TCR files can contain binary data or structured text, making them flexible for different testing needs.

CHM to TCR Conversion: Understanding the Formats

Converting CHM (Compiled HTML Help) files to TCR (Psion eBook) format allows you to access your help documentation and other CHM content on older Psion eBook readers or devices that support the TCR format. While less common now, this conversion can be useful for preserving access to information on legacy systems.

What is a CHM File?

A CHM file, short for Compiled HTML Help, is a Microsoft proprietary format used for creating help files and documentation. CHM files package HTML pages, images, and other support files into a compressed archive. They offer features like indexing, full-text search, and hyperlinks, making them a robust solution for distributing documentation.

What is a TCR File?

TCR is a file format used for eBooks, primarily associated with older Psion devices. It provides a way to store and display text and basic formatting, making it suitable for reading books and documents on these devices. It is now considered a legacy format.

Why Convert CHM to TCR?

The main reason to convert CHM to TCR is to make the content accessible on older Psion devices or software that specifically supports the TCR format. This is particularly useful in scenarios involving legacy systems or if you have a preference for reading on a Psion device. Other potential benefits include:

  • Compatibility: Enables viewing CHM content on Psion eBook readers.
  • Accessibility: Provides access to documentation on devices that don't natively support CHM.
  • Preservation: Maintains access to information stored in CHM files even when modern software is unavailable.

Keep in mind that TCR is an older format, and the conversion might involve some loss of formatting fidelity. For modern devices, consider converting CHM to more widely supported formats like PDF or EPUB.
