Has anyone edited a CHM (compiled help) file before? I can decompile the file, make changes to the HTML inside it and then compile it as a new CHM using HTML Help Workshop. However doing that looses the index and the ability to search.

Basically what's happened is a help file we use has an annoying bit of JavaScript in it which forwards you to a link to the suppliers online help if the year is >2012. The online help is crap and the help file is bloody useful. I need that JavaScript out!

Guess it uses system time, it's getting it from the Date() object in JavaScript. I guess changing the system date would be a fix too.
