Hi Chantel,
NetHelp is a proprietary Netscape technology for delivering online help that
can be viewed in Netscape Navigator on multiple platforms. NetHelp has been
discontinued and is no longer being developed. It is not a good
cross-platform solution because it is bound to the Netscape browser; it can
not be viewed with Internet Explorer, Opera, or any other non-Netscape
browser.
NetHelp can't be compared to RoboHELP or Doc-To-Help, since NetHelp is a
help platform, whereas the other two are help development tools.
