Single Sourcing tools

[Frank Dissinger]

Hello Mike,

I am interested in your "shoot-out", because I need to find a suitable 
help authoring tool.
It's rather for creating online help. Print output does not have a high 
priority, but would be nice to have.
I've had a look at Help&Manual and am currently evalutating Flare. 
Initially I liked Flare, but I am discovering more and more issues... 
Perhaps your "shoot-out" could help me make a decision.

Regards, Frank
