You can also use certain apps to extract the HTML files out of the CHM
files. 7zip can do it; there is also at least one toolset for working

Also, some HTML programs can do RTF -> HTML. Also also, many GUI word
processors can open RTF files. (Text editors can, too, but you get to
deal with fun things like "\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1".)
