Subject:RobotHelp Info From:"Frank Ripp, Ext 1313" <FRANKR -at- MDLI -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 3 Dec 1993 14:25:52 -0800
I'm using MS Word and the Windows Help compiler to create
Windows help files for our products.
Other writers at my company will be involved in this effort
in the near future. I'm looking for ways to make the
process of creating/editing help files easier and more
transparent.
I'm checking out a product called RobotHelp that claims to make
the process of adding topics, creating jumps, adding index entries,
etc. more transparent.
Does anyone out there have any experience with this product that
they could share? Is it robust and does it do the job well?
Are there any other similar products out there that people have
experience with?
Thanks, inquiring minds want to know!
