I think you need to add more checking to verify that it's Mac OS X and 
not some other flavor of Unix and also that the CHM Viewer application 
exists.  Also (and this is the real PITA), the unix() command doesn't 
know about things in Matlab's path so you also have to specify the path 
to PLT.CHM, which could be anywhere!

Isn't multi-platform software development fun?

Might be better to stick to html or pdf, as others have suggested.

If I were to write a chm to html converter, I'd call it chm2html.  On a 
whim, I Googled for chm2html - it turns up 1510 hits.  "chm2html GPL" 
turns up 9.
