RE: beyond RoboHELP

[Paul Hanson <PHanson -at- Quintrex -dot- com>]

I work in RoboHELP 75% of the time I'm at work. 

Incidently, RH is not the 'only' HAT you could use. There is freeware at
Josef Becker's site http://www.helpmaster.com/ that you could use. 

Also, in some research I did in 8/99, I came up with the following list
of 26 HAT vendors:

	Just curious....how many of you would say that RoboHELP is an
essential part of your job?  How often do you use it, now, and in the
past?

	I think I've been led to believe for a long time that RoboHELP
is a vital component of being a technical writer.  I'm starting to
wonder though.  Just seems that there are less costly and more efficient
methods out there...
