RoboHelp For FrameMaker Discontinued -- Please Help Us Save It

[Liz Johnston <lizzyj -at- telus -dot- net>]

In late 2003, eHelp Corporation unveiled RoboHelp for FrameMaker, a tool 
that single sources FrameMaker books with unrivalled speed and 
efficiency, and complete preservation of all the elements in FrameMaker 
documents. RHF, as we fans call it, is a supra-intelligent, speedy tool 
that interacts in real time with FrameMaker and is far superior to its 
competition, WebWorks Publisher.

Anthony Olivier, Senior Vice President, Macromedia announced the demise 
of RHF on July 30, 2004. Those of us with maintenance plans can upgrade 
free to RoboHelp x5, which will never offer similar integration with 
FrameMaker.

A dedicated group called the RHF Mutineers wants Macromedia to reinstate 
RoboHelp for FrameMaker or allow someone to purchase it and give it the 
new home it deserves. Microsoft and its Solution Partners have a vested 
interest in discontinuing products like RHF. Please dont let it happen.

The RHF Mutineers need the support of everyone who has ever tried to 
convert large FrameMaker projects into online help. We need you to:
