Does anyone have any knowledge of or experience with a help authoring tool
named MasterHelp? It is produced by Performance Software in Richmond,
Virginia.
Thanks in advance!

hoop's post:
I've seen several requests like this so I will risk posting to
the whole list, rather than just emailing to Heli.
In Windows Magazine, July 1994 issue, Paul E. Schindler wrote an
article comparing five WinHelp authoring tools: Doc-to-Help 1.5,
ForeHelp, HelpBreeze 1.6, MasterHelp, and RoboHelp.
Reviews like this won't solve all problems of those shopping for
software, but I'm a help newbie and I found the article helpful for
building context.
good thoughts,
hoop
