Never heard about that script either, but if all you want is to
convert CHMs to some useful format, there are a few sample programs (not
built by default) in the chmlib sources, which can list and extract the
HTML files from CHMs. p7zip can do the same, but IIRC there are files
that chmlib can read and p7zip can't.
