Both Flare and RoboHelp have their online help on the Web, so you can
compare them, both as help and also as examples of their different,
proprietary WebHelp output:
Good tutorials don't make Flare's online help any better organized, or
its search engine any better, or its UI any less cluttered. Not that
RoboHelp is necessarily any better, I'm just grumbling about one of
the devils I know.
