A related question concerning RoboHelp Office Pro for .NET:
After not using Robohelp for any help projects for a couple of years,
our dept is now planning a couple of large (cross platform PC/Mac) web
apps. The new apps will be built with .NET.
We'll probably use some form of RoboHelp for the Help. Probably need to
upgrade from what we have (version 9). But to what?
In what sense is RH Office Pro the only RH HAT that supports .NET? Is it
that you have to use this HAT in order to have context sensive help with
a .NET app? Or in order to store the Help on the same server with a .NET
app? Or something else? Reading the ehelp/Macromedia web site, I have
not been able to determine what it is we would not be able to do unless
we lay out the extra $ for RH Office Pro for .NET
Thanks for any clarification on this.

I'm sure glad this topic came up at this time, as I'm in pretty much in
the
same boat.
I was told by my rep at Ehelp (er, Macromedia now) that their only HAT
that
supports .NET is "RoboHelp Office Pro for .NET." In other words,
RoboHelp
for FrameMaker won't suffice. Can someone verify that RH for FM will, in
fact, suffice? (Since we haven't bought yet, this could save us a
bundle.)
