Subject: atw: ANN: RoboHelp is no longer in development
I have just come out of the introductory session at the WritersUA conference (previously WinWriters) where Joe Welinske made the following statements about RoboHelp:
<quote>
* The product has been "sunset by Macromedia
* The development staff is gone
* It is highly likely that no further development will take place - no new versions
* RoboHelp will continue to remain the product that it is and people can continue to use it as it is
* XML, "Longhorn Help" and other developments will eventually make the tool obsolete
* Other user assistance tools may adjust to import Robohelp native files
<unquote>
Other information from the conference:
* Mike Hamilton (ex RH) is now working for another company, consisting mostly of ex-RH, eHelp, Bluesky employees
* Macromedia were meant to have an exhibition stand at the conference for RH - no-one is left to man the stand, so they aren't here at all.
