Steve,

My guess is that if you want true single sourcing, then Forehelp is not
the answer. I haven't tried importing from Frame, but Forehelp will work
better if you can use it as the original source file and Framemaker as
the print output. That may not seem handy but it's the truth.

If you want to use FM as your single source, then you probably need to
go with Webworks, which I used a few versions ago. It all depends on
what your needs are.

Ask yourself these questions: Where does the quality need to lie: in
Help or in Print? From there, you can begin to answer your question. If
Help is your answer, then start the source from a help system and think
of print as a secondary need.
