Opera and compiled HTML

I've been looking at the latest version of Opera to see if it works well
with the documentation and support services of ERP system supplier
SAP AG.

As a browser, v3.50 does not seem able to work with SAP's secure (https)
web site for consultants and customers. This may well be SAP problem not
adhering to w3c standards, but as it works with IE they won't be
bothered

More disastrously, SAP provide their most recent documentation in a
compiled html file format (*.chm). This requires a Microsoft applet
(hh.exe) to read. I presume hh decompiles the chm file and pipes it into
IE.

This applet seems to work only with IE. Is there a mechanism for using
it with Opera?

Do you have an URL? If it works with IE but not Opera it's most likely
due to using NTLM (NT Lan Manager) auth-type, which is supported by
IIS/MSIE, and in Netscape via a plugin.
