Hi folks..
I am currently documenting some applications that run on UNIX/X Windows.
Recently, my company has expressed some interest in putting our manuals
on- line. As someone relatively new in the field, I don't have much
experience with on-line help. I've used it , of course! :) Anyway, I'd
like your input on the following:
What types of tools for X Windows are out there?
What do they cost?
Can I use the text (Microsoft Word) of our hard copy manuals - without
having to retype it?
