I have been using Forehelp (latest version is 2.96 with a ForeHTML add-on)
and have been almost 100% pleased almost 100% of the time. I consider that
quite a good average for a software program.
It is very easy to learn, has sophisticated, state-of-the-art features, does
quite a spiffy job of converting your help file to HTML and back again, and
what else can I say? Oh, the tech support has been unbelievably helpful and
responsive.
