Sure. Don't use RoboHelp. What you are looking for is
a single-source solution for FrameMaker, and RoboHelp
ain't it. Look into WebWorks Publisher or Mif2Go.
Although, if this is a contract that you'd rather
stretch out on your end instead of make good on with
the client, stick with RoboHelp and happily bill them
for the extra overhead.
WWP will pay for itself in no time - I dunno how much
maintenance time you are looking at, but in a $50/hr
contract, you break even after 3 days of saved
maintenance time.
