>Can you spout off on what other features and workflow issues recommend
ForeHelp over RoboHelp,
>in general not necessarily with specific reference to FrameMaker.
I write:
Sadly, I can't. I haven't used RoboHelp for years, and even then I used it
only occasionally. So, I'm not in a position to compare the two products.
All I can say is that we selected ForeHelp because (a) it worked with
FrameMaker files and (b) it was a stand-alone application that did not
overlay the Word interface. Well, that's not entirely true: I can also say
that we haven't been disappointed with our decision.
