FW: Is FrameMaker dead?

[trish -dot- robertson -at- comcast -dot- net]

Hi,

Thanks for your responses. The consensus seems to be that FrameMaker is very much alive and will be supported in the future. Given that, is Madcap Flare the best online help tool so that there is some degree of single sourcing? I've heard that Flare is better than Adobe's new version of RoboHelp. 

Also, has anyone come across some tools so that content could be generated once and then reused in PDF, XML, online help, and e-learning? Thanks for your help.

-Trish
