Subject:RE: Anyone writing Online Help for WebSphere? From:"Darren Barefoot" <darren -dot- barefoot -at- capeclear -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 17 Oct 2002 14:35:05 +0100
I've recently written for applications that integrate with WebSphere.
Matthew's right on the mark (he's not luke-warm, he's Johnny on the
spot). WebSphere is a Web app, and, as such, as long as you've got
something that's nice and platform and operating-system agnostic, you
should be fine. Browser-based help would definitely be a wise way to go.
Thanks. DB.
